R script to download and pre-process Eurostat migration data
Description
This R script was written by Georgios Aristotelous in October 2020 to download and pre-process Eurostat migration data, contained in the file migr_imm5prv, to be used in the Bayesian hierarchal model to estimate European migration flows, developed as part of the project Quantifying Migration Scenarios for Better Policy (QuantMig, www.quantmig.eu); see Aristotelous, Smith and Bijak (2022) for details. Since the code will need modifying each time a new version of migr_imm5prv is used and when the years of interest are changed, the script should not be run as is, but rather used as a template to develop the code to obtain the migration flow data required for further analysis. With this in mind, Peter W.F. Smith added a commentary in July 2023 indicating where modification may be required and where different results will be obtained. His comments are preceded by PWFS Comment. Finally, note that with a new version of migr_imm5prv or different years, the means, proportions and counts calculated will be different to those reported in the comments.
