Tracking can be defined as the tendency of individuals or collections of individuals to stay within a particular course ofgrowth over time relative to other individuals. Thus, tracking describes stability in growth patterns. This paper outlines a statistical procedure for examining tracking in a sin
We consider the problem of growth prediction in the context of Rao's [l] one-sample polynomial growth curve model and provide a PC program, written in GAUSS, to perform the associated computations. Specifically, the problem considered is that of estimating the value of the measurement under consider
A FORTRAN computer program written to perform a distribution-free analysis of growth and response curves is described. The underlying statistical methodology is particularly applicable with incomplete observations, and in situations where parametric models for growth may not be appropriate. FORTRAN
