Abstract: birthsim simulates birth intervals and number of children born according to inputted parameters. Calculations are based on Preston, Heuvaline, and Guillot (2001). It creates a column of lived months, with values for months that resulted in a conception. From this data it is also easy to calculate respective birthdays and ages of the simulated offspring. Simulations of populations or probabilities of individual cases can be derived by using the simulate command.
