1. Count

THE ABSOLUTE NO. OF POPULATION IN A SPECIFIC AREA AND TIME

1. count

It is the absolute number of population or any demographic event occurring in a specified area in a specific time period.

2. Rate

It is the frequency of demographic events in a population during a specific time period (usually a year) divided by the population "at risk" of the event occurring during that time period.

3. rAtio

It is the relation of one population subgroup to the total population or to another subgroup, that is, one subgroup divided by the another.

4. Proportion

It is the relation of a population subgroup to the entire population; that is, a population subgroup divided by the entire population.

4. constant

An unchanging, arbitrary number by which rates, ratios, or proportions can be multiplied to express these measures in a more understandable fashion.

6. cohert measure

A statistic that measures events occurring to a cohort ( a group of people sharing the same demographic experience) who are observed through time.

7. period measure

A statistic that measures events occurring to all or part of a population during one period of time.
