title: Probabilistic analysis of fertility and fecundity:  an application to Tombia in Rivers State of Nigeria.
abstract: "This paper discusses fertility and fecundity from a probablistic point of view, using Tombia [Nigeria] as a case study.  The fertility distribution in Tombia, fertility beyond a given time, infertility rate, measures of central tendencies and dispersion of the fertility distribution in Tombia, prediction of age at menopause in Tombia and projection of fertility beyond a given time are discussed.  The emphasis is on the discussion and interpretation of the results obtained in the probabilistic models developed therein."
