Nowcasting in Microsimulation Models: A Methodological Survey [PDF]
Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation, 2014 In this paper, we survey the use of nowcasting methods in Microsimulation models. These nowcasting methods differ in a number of respects to the more established methods of forecasting. The main distinction is that while forecasting extrapolates from current data to estimate the future, the methods of nowcasting extrapolate from data of the recent past

We Are Our Memory: A Flexible Framework for Quantifying the Demographic Imprints of the Past
Population and Development Review, EarlyView.Abstract Populations have demographic connections to the past: people who were exposed to the past may still be alive or may at least have living kin. Denton and Spencer and Alburez‐Gutierrez have recently articulated the concept of “demographic memory” to refer to the way in which the memory of single events lingers in populations through their age or

International Journal of Cancer, Volume 159, Issue 2, Page 389-400, 15 July 2026.What's new? Effective cervical cancer prevention centers around screening and testing for human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. With birth cohorts of HPV‐vaccinated women now reaching screening‐eligible ages, however, the best means to maintaining cost‐effective cervical cancer screening is unclear.

Geographical Analysis, Volume 58, Issue 3, July 2026.ABSTRACT Estimating unknown outcomes at small‐area population level is a routine task in spatial analysis. We demonstrate how multilevel regression and poststratification (MRP), widely used in political polling, overcomes some deficiencies in spatial microsimulation (SPM), the de facto approach in quantitative geography.

International Journal of Cancer, Volume 158, Issue 12, Page 3141-3151, 15 June 2026.What's new? Persistent infection with high‐risk human papillomavirus (HPV) causes most invasive cervical cancer cases, leading many countries to transition from cytology to primary HPV‐based screening. Despite the benefits, HPV‐based screening may also lead to unnecessary procedures, psychological burden, and strain on healthcare systems.
