A Few Notes on the Lexis Diagram: The 100th Anniversary of the Death of Wilhelm Lexis
Original language description
This paper provides a brief introduction to Wilhelm Lexis, his life, and the basic demographic tool that is named after him: the Lexis diagram. This topic is chosen to commemorate the centenary of the death of Wilhelm Lexis, who had an unquestionable influence on demographic research. The Lexis diagram, which is used to display demographic events in a dual time dimension, is an essential instrument for working correctly with demographic data. Therefore, it is not far from the truth to claim that demographers all around the world would be unable to imagine demography without the Lexis diagram, in spite of the fact that the diagram's ties to Lexis are not so direct.
