MATHEMATICAL-CARTOGRAPHIC MODELING AND CARTOGRAPHY OP DEMOGRAPHIC SITUATION IN THE REGIONS OF EUROPE AND RUSSIA by A. I. Igonin, V. S. Tikunov

“…The multivariate typology gave heterogeneous results, which makes it possible to assess a wide range of territorial features of the demographic characteristics of the population and identify patterns of their distribution. So, for the typology of the second option, instead of the indicator of life expectancy, the general mortality rate was used, which strengthens the significance of this development for the analysis of the demographic movement of the population and gives a clearer idea of the causes and genesis of the dynamics of the demographic situation. …”
