title: Coale's indices, comparative indices, mean generation, total fertility rate and components.
abstract: "Conversion of the Princeton fertility indices into more frequently employed units of measure, such as TFR and its components, can make information on historical times easier to grasp. But the resulting indicators are only estimates, which will be accurate if the underlying assumptions hold, and otherwise may deviate from reality."
