ABSTRACT
Statistical models for time-to-pregnancy data are usually formulated in discrete time. Two approaches were surveyed, including methods of accounting for both known heterogeneity (covariates, possibly time-dependent) and unknown heterogeneity (frailty). Delicate censoring and truncation patterns arose for prospective and, particularly, retrospective sampling designs. The inclusion of several pregnancies per couple presents new challenges and possibilities.
