Projection

The projection section of LiST allows users to create projections using LiST and to quickly access analysis results. The general steps to create projections are outlined below:

1.Select "Create" on the Projection window on the home LiST screen.

2.Give your projection a name, select your country, choose the start and end years for your projection, and select "Create a projection" to create your baseline projection. Unless you want to do a sub-national projection, you do not need to modify the Region parameter. Similarly, unless you wish to exclude particular survey years, you do not need to modify the Survey parameter.

3.Select the interventions of interest to you by clicking on the "Interventions" button. In the screen that pops up, select the interventions that you would like to modify. Selected interventions will appear on the right hand side. Once you've selected all of the interventions applicable, click on "Apply"

4.The "Coverage" button should now list the number of interventions that you selected on the previous step. You can modify the coverage of these interventions by clicking on the table and modifying the information there. To interpolate linearly between dates, select the relevant cells, right-click, and select "Interpolate" from the menu. Click "Apply" once you have modified the relevant coverage values.

5.If you would like to review the default data on which your projection is based, you can do so in the following screen. In most cases, this is not a necessary step, and you can select 'Calculate and view results" directly.

6.Default results will appear on the "View results" screen. If you would like to view additional results, click on the plus sign next to "Manage selected results" to select the results that are most appropriate for you. If you would like to view results in a different format (e.g. table, bar chart, line graph, etc.) or if you would like to download the data, options to do so are at the top right of the screen.
