Abstract

Within the Population and Housing Census 2011, it was found out that usually resident population of Latvia accounted for 2 074.6 thousand at the beginning of 2011, which was 7 % fewer people than in the Register of Natural Persons supervised by the Office of Citizenship and Migration Affairs (2 228.0 thousand). The Central Statistical Bureau of Latvia worked out a method used to estimate population of Latvia more precisely. The method is based on statistical classification and migration mirror statistics and is aimed at dividing Latvian population included in the Register of Natural Persons of Latvia into two classes – persons actually living in Latvia and persons actually living abroad. The statistical classification model has been developed with the help of logistic regression.
