• Conduct thorough quality checks and handle missing or inconsistent data.
• Statistical Analysis & Modeling
• Perform distribution analysis, parameter estimation, and relationship mapping between demographic variables.
• Apply sampling techniques to design representative synthetic populations.
• Identify key demographic and behavioral parameters that inform population modeling.
• Schema & Synthetic Population Development
• Build statistical frameworks and schemas to simulate respondent-level data for Indian states.
• Develop replicable workflows and documentation for ongoing data updates.
• Reporting & Communication
• Present findings in clear, visualized formats (tables, charts, dashboards).
