## Total fertility rates in the Waikato region of New Zealand.

### Description

The total fertility rate is the average number of children that a woman would bear over her lifetime if current age-specific fertility rates were to continue indefinitely.

### Usage

    waikato.tfr

### Format

An array with dimensions "year" and "iteration".

### Details

The estimates are for the period 1996-2015 and were constructed from `nz.births.reg` and `nz.popn.reg`, using function `estimateModel` in package `demest`. `waikato.tfr` contains 100 iterations. Variation across the iterations captures uncertainty about the true rates.

### Source
