Rao Publishes Research Article on Geometry and Population Cohort Formations
Posted: 8/7/2025 (CSDE Research)
CSDE External Affiliate Arni Rao recently published an article in Taylor and Francis’ Mathematical Population Studies journal titled, “Geometrical constructions and analysis in population cohorts.” In this article, fundamental results on the formation of population capture cohorts using analysis, probability, and geometric arguments are derived. Dr. Rao introduces original ideas by connecting the geometry of paths of cohort formations with methods of data analysis, probability, and mathematical analysis. One of the reviewers of the article commented, “this seminal paper presents a novel geometric perspective on cohort formation, where the latter is defined in its strict demographic sense. The examples are elegant, as are the derivations and proofs.” To read the full article, visit this link.
