The purpose of this study is to observe the background characteristics of migrants and the effects
of socio-demographic characteristics of migrants as well as to fit some mathematical models to migrant
population associated with age and age at marriage. For this, the data is acquired from Bogra pourusova of
Bogra district, Bangladesh by purposive sampling technique. Chi-square test, logistic regression analysis,
smoothing technique, polynomial model, Cross Validation Predictive Power (CVPP) and F-test are employed
to fulfill the aforementioned objectives. It is identified that age, educational qualification, occupation (before
migration), income (before migration), type of family (before migration) significantly effect on causes of
migration. It is found that migrant population associated with age and age at marriage follow simple linear
regression model and four parameters polynomial model correspondingly.
Key words: Chi-square test, Cross Validation Predictive Power (CVPP), F-test, logistic regression analysis, male migrants, polynomial model and socio-demographic characteristics,
