   Abstract:
   One useful way to validate a projection model and computer program is to project between two past dates for which the observations are known, and then compare the observed data with the projected data. We assessed the accuracy of the ProFamy method and program by projecting: (1) U.S. households by race from 1990 to 2000 (Zeng et al. 2006), (2) Chinese households by rural and urban areas from 1990 to 2000 (Zeng et al. 2008), and (3) Chinese households by rural and urban areas and Eastern, Middle, and Western regions from 2000 to 2010 (Zeng et al. 2013b).
