Abstract:Abstract.In this paper a method for estimating the necessary number of enrollments is derived, when the future need of graduates and the probabilities of ever graduating and of graduating in a certain time are given. The method consists of constructing a nonhomogeneous linear difference equation and of determining the optimal values of the unknown coefficients in its solution.
