Calculated Auger, Coster-Kronig, super Coster-Kronig, and radiative transition rates are used to compute atomic $M$-shell Auger, Coster-Kronig, and fluorescence yields. Comparison is made with five fluorescence-field measurements, with full width at half-maximum measurements of $L-M$ x rays, and with Bhalla's relativistic radiative-yield calculations.
