Description 1 online resource (1 PDF file (viii, 33 pages)) Series The compass series Compass series (Washington, D.C.) Summary This report begins by providing an overview of demographic modeling, including the strengths and weaknesses of this technique. Then the elements of the model are developed (e.g., workforce inflows and outflows are defined) and the data set used for estimation of the model--the Survey of Doctorate Recipients (SDR)--is described. Next, the calculation of transition rates for various life changes (e.g., retirement, changing profession) is described. At this point, the model is used to make retroactive projections that are tested against real data from the SDR. Finally, the panel presents recommendations for further work that is needed to develop the model so that it can be used to project the needs for biomedical and behavioral scientists Analysis Andre fag (naturvidenskab og teknik) Andre fag Notes Title from PDF title page Bibliography Includes bibliographical references Notes English Online resource (viewed on June 12, 2015) Subject Medical scientists -- Supply and demand -- Mathematical models Behavioral scientists -- Supply and demand -- Mathematical models Mathematical models.
