Abstract: Abstract In assembling our guidelines, we examined ideas in the area of population estimation and also in two areas related to population estimation: (1) sample (statistical) surveys; and (2) population forecasting. In regard to the two related fields, we found ideas that can be applied directly as guidelines for developing and presenting estimates and others that can be easily adapted for this purpose. While, as this book attests, there are substantial areas of overlap among sample surveys, population forecasting, and population estimation, there are important distinctions. And these distinctions lead to different guidelines.
