This research examines child mortality risk associated with short preceding birth intervals in Mozambique in quinquennial periods between 1978 to 1998 using data from the 1997 and 2003 DHS. A log rate model for piecewise constant rates is applied. The piecewise hazard function assumes a constant hazard rate of child mortality in each 6 month category of the preceding birth interval. The negative binomial regression model is applied to account for the overdispersion present in the Poisson model. 2014-07-31T12:40:08Z 2014-07-31T12:40:08Z 2008 Master Thesis Masters MPhil http://hdl.handle.net/11427/5900 eng application/pdf Centre for Actuarial Research (CARE) Faculty of Commerce University of Cape Town |
