Daedalus is a novel dynamic spatial microsimulation prototype being developed at the Leeds Institute for Institute Data Analytics. Currently, the main goal is to a create a proof of concept component as part of the SPENSER (Synthetic Population Estimation and Scenario Projection Model) project. In this we hope to demonstrate a potential for a highly integrated system that allows users to produce (custom) population projections for policy intervention analysis.
In the zip folder, MYEB1_detailed_population_estimates_seriesUK(2019) is the population by age/sex/year/LAD, MYEB3_summary_components_of_change_seriesUK(2019) is the components of change by year/LAD.
Implement in the notebooks a quick validation of the run with data from
