Keyfitz delta

Created: 2014-07-23 13:02:06

The Keyfit delta Workflow provides an environment to calculate the Keyfit delta value. Keyfitz’s delta is a measure of the distance between any two probability vectors (Keyfitz 1968). In this case is a measure of the distance between n (Observed Stage Distribution) and w (Stable Stage Distribution). The maximum value is 1 and the minimum value is 0 (when the vectors are identical).
