Introduction | Definition of Basic Simulation Frame | Definition of initial population | Definition of Transition Rates | Definition of transition matrix | Running the simulations | Processing the output | Analyzing output | Age-specific prevalence | Life course prevalence

Example 1: Population Projection (Germany) | Retrieve and Prepare Input Data | Base population | Fertilty rates | Mortality rates

Definition of Basic Simulation Frame | Definition of initial population and newborn characteristics | Rates Definition | Fertility Rates | Internal Migration Rates | Mortality Rates | Emigration rates | Transition pattern and assignment of functions specifying transition rates | Transition matrix for fertility | Transition matrix for migration | Transition matrix for mortality and emigration | Combine all | Define transitions triggering a birth event | Run Simulation (using one core) | Convert to long format | Convert to wide format | Run Simulation with parallel computing on several cores
