Research and study group 'Models and Methods of Demographic Sequence Analysis' has begun its work since January 2016 and was organized with support of the Academic Fund Program at the National Research University Higher School of Economics (HSE) (Research grant №16-05-0011 'Development and testing of demographic sequence analysis and mining techniques') and Russian Academic Excellence Project '5-100'.
Sequence Analysis is one of the most advanced methods for analysing demographic data. It was established in the middle of the last century, but it was seriously developed only with the advent of data mining methods. Demographers, together with specialists in the field of information technology, aim to study the sequences of occurances of different events in the lives of Russians. Hidden patterns in people's behaviour are analyzed and new approaches to the prediction of demographic trajectories are being developed.
