On solutions of the cohort parity analysis model

Barkalov, Nicholas - In: Mathematical Population Studies 7 (1998) 1, pp. 79-107

The cohort parity analysis (CPA) model of David et al. (1988) is studied formally as a three-state parity-progression … table. The general solution is found in a form of convex combination of a finite set of solutions which are described …

On the use of the truncated Gompertz distribution and other models to represent the parity progression functions of high fertility populations

Pollard, J. H.; Valkovics, E. J. - In: Mathematical Population Studies 6 (1997) 4, pp. 291-305

The Gompertz distribution, developed from the mortality “law”; long used by actuaries and demographers promises to be a useful distribution for many other demographic purposes as well. The continuous distribution can also be adapted to represent discrete data commonly encountered in...
