title: Assessing homogeneity and association in male and female infant mortality in Bangladesh.
abstract: "This paper reveals some interesting characteristics regarding the nature of sex differential in neonatal, post neonatal and infant mortality [in Bangladesh].  The association between sex of an infant and mortality appears to be highly significant for neonatal and post-neonatal stages but these associations are not very heterogeneous over time.... The association appears to be nonsignificant for infant mortality but the association in male and female infant mortality is found to be heterogeneous over time."  Data cover the period 1966-1981.
