Female Marriage Migration Associated with Geographical Distance in Rajshahi,Bangladesh: An Application of Polynomial Model

摘要

In this study an effort has been made to fit mathematical model to marriage migration associated with geographical distance in Rajshahi district, Bangladesh. For this, data have been taken from the project entitled "Strengthening the Dept. of Population Science and Human Resource Development" sponsored by UNFPA, Bangladesh. In this paper an attempt has been made to show that the polynomial model is applicable to the data on female marriage migration related to distance in Rajshahi district, Bangladesh. It is found that marriage migration associated with distance follows biquadratic polynomial model. To verify the stability situation of the model, cross validity prediction power is employed to the model.
