Addressing the Shortcomings in Classification Rates Estimated With the Anderson Model: Study and Application

Abstract

The research aimed to verify the validity of the hypothesis that there is a contradiction in the classification rates estimated by the Anderson model for the position of Yemeni women regarding the use of family planning methods in particular. The analytical statistical approach was followed. The research is divided into: a theoretical background, results of successful models of Yemeni family planning data, recommendations and suggestions. The main results are that: there is a decline in the classification rates estimated by the Anderson model for the position of Yemeni women regarding the use of family planning methods. This is due to the model’s calculations and not only to the lack of one or more of the assumptions for building this model.
