Infant mortality rate is considered a sensitive index that can be used to monitor the improvements or changes in the level of health status and standard of living in a specific country and to make cross-country comparisons of these measures. The main objective of this thesis is to search for the probability model (s) that best describes the distribution of infant deaths -by age at death- in Egypt during the period 1980-2005
