Abstract
We omit the appendix, and sections of the paper discussing correlations between two successive conception delays and numerical results. (The maximum likelihood estimates for the mean and variance of fecundability, developed in the appendix, are the \(\overline p \) and V p given in our introduction to Henry, paper 41 above.)
From Population Studies 18. Excerpts are from pages 85–92.
