[Population Modeling] introducing myself and simPop

[Matthias Templ]

Dear colleagues,

I'm new to the mailing list and follow the invitation of Jacob to introduce
myself.

I'm the maintainer of the R package simPop (
https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/simPop/index.html) that can be used
to created synthetic population data needed for microsimulation tasks.
We included methods such as combinatorial optimization, iterative
proportional fitting and updating, model-based regression methods to
simulate data as well as some tools that are useful for demographers and
economist that carry out microsimulations with data including age or income
heaping problems.
The aim is to simulate a population for all individuals, the data that are
needed for time T_0 where microsimulation methods are applied to carry on
to T_1, T_2, ...
The package is specialised for complex data from official statistics but is
not limited to these data sets.

So, hello to everybody on the list. Happy to get in contact with you.

Kind regards,
Matthias
