"An attempt has been made to present two regression equations for estimating total fertility rate from the birth order data. While one of the equations has been derived from the longitudinal data of Malaysia another has been obtained from cross sectional data on Mother's total fertility rate...and births of orders one and two. These equations are used to estimate the [total fertility rate] for the districts of [Uttar Pradesh, India,] which are quite close to the estimates obtained by using other methods."
已尝试给出两个回归方程，用于根据出生顺序数据估算总和生育率。其中一个方程源自马来西亚的纵向数据，另一个则取自关于母亲总和生育率以及第一和第二胎出生情况的横断面数据。这些方程用于估算印度北方邦各地区的[总和生育率]，所得结果与使用其他方法估算的结果非常接近。
