The journal Demographic Research just published an interview (by Monica Alexander) with Statistics and Sociology Professor Adrian Raftery on the history of the Bayesian population projection methodology developed by his group. This method is now used by the UN for their official population projections for all countries. The interview was published to mark the 25th anniversary of the journal.
