Abstract:

Models for closed birth intervals can be broadly characterized into 2 groups: 1) models for closed birth intervals when the marital duration of women is large, and 2) models when the marital duration is specified. This paper derives some probability models for closed birth intervals under different sets of assumptions. Section 2 presents 2 models for consideration, while section 3 deals with the illustration of the models and discusses the varying estimates of the risk of conception obtained through the application of models to an observed data set from the Varanasi Survey (1969-1970), India.
