Cumulative predicted probabilities of first birth for U.S. graduate women by age and field of study, derived from field-specific discrete time event-history models of first birth, U.S. graduate women born 1960–79
Note: Separate, weighted models run for each field of study. Logit of first birth regressed on cubic function of age.
