Direct entry of a SMigR
The user can directly enter a SMigR if these have been estimated (Figure 25). They will have the
effect of increasing or decreasing the age-schedule of rates on sheet ‘Sched’ (and any other
differentials that have been entered), to whatever extent is needed to meet the SMigR provided.

6.7.4. Notes and Validation
It is recommended that the source of the migration data is entered on the ‘Notes’ worksheet.
When all the required data has been entered, the user validates the data entry by clicking the
‘Validate’ button. This produces two additional worksheets, labelled ‘MaleRates’ and
‘FemaleRates’ on which graphs of migration rates for the corresponding sex are produced.
Any errors must be corrected before the forecasting program can be run.
