  • Title: A probability model for number of births and its application in estimation of fecundability for a heterogeneous population.
    Author: Bhattacharya BN, Nath DC.
    Journal: Janasamkhya; 1983 Dec; 1(2):163-71. PubMed ID: 12312912.
    Abstract:
    "Under some simple assumptions relating to the human reproduction process, an extension of a probability model describing the variations in the number of births to a female during a specified period of time (O, T) of length T, is proposed. The model is extended to a situation when the female population consists of two distinct groups with respect to fecundability. A procedure of estimation of some of the underlying parameters is given. The applicability of the model is illustrated with an observed distribution." Data for the illustration are from a population survey undertaken in Varanasi, India, in 1978.
