Abstract
In this study, an attempt has been made to estimate the mean value of fecundability by various classical and non-classical methods. The classical methods are method of moments and method of maximum likelihood. The non-classical methods are standard Bayes, hierarchical Bayes, and empirical Bayes. For this purpose, the present study utilizes the Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey (BDHS) data 1999-2000. In the analysis of fecundability, we have seen that the mean value of fecundability is about 0.046 whatever the estimation methods be.
