Резюме	The relational Gompertz model expresses any population's cumulative fertility schedule as a simple linear transformation of a fixed standard schedule, after both are mapped through a double-logarithm (gompit) transform. Developed by William Brass and given its widely used standard by Heather Booth, it characterizes the entire age pattern of fertility with just two parameters — α, which shifts the schedule earlier or later, and β, which controls how concentrated or spread out childbearing is. This makes it a robust tool for smoothing, fitting, and especially for correcting and estimating fertility from the limited and error-prone data common in developing countries.	The Coale-Trussell model is a two-parameter parametric description of the age pattern of marital fertility, introduced by Ansley Coale and James Trussell in 1974. It expresses observed age-specific marital fertility as a standard natural-fertility schedule scaled by an overall level parameter M and modulated by an age-increasing function of deliberate birth-control intensity, summarized by a single control parameter m.
