## Abstract Growth reference tables present statistical distributions of size for age of individuals within a sample or population. As summaries of phenotypic variability at the group level, they document that individuals grow by different rates during similar time frames. The data are commonly fit
The simultaneous estimation of individual growth curvea and a mean gtowth curve is accomplished by weighted least squares. A polynomial curve is fitted for each individual and the polynomial parameters are linear functions of parameters corresponding to covariatee. A simple, computationally efficien
To provide a more detailed assessment of the growth of twins, the individual second trimester growth patterns of six fetal parameters [HC, AC, FDL, ThC, head cube (A) and abdominal cube (B)] were studied in fourteen sets of normal twins (six monozygotic and eight dizygotic) and sixteen normal single
This paper addresses a critical theoretical issue concerning the developmental course of reading disability. Various models have been suggested on how reading ability develops for children with reading disabilities. The lag model states that poor readers are just slow starters who will catch up as t
