Miscellanea

A two-stage model for growth curves which leads to Rao's covariance adjusted estimators

T. FEARN *

Department of Mathematics, Imperial College London

It is well known that the unweighted estimator for growth curve parameters may be justified by a random effects model. We show that the more complicated adjusted estimators suggested by Rao may also be justified in terms of a two-stage model whose interpretation is simple.

Key Words: Bayes theory • Covariance adjustment • Growth curve • Hierarchical model • Linear model
