Dawson et al. (Am. J. Med. Genet. 7, 529-536, 1980) developed a procedure for constructing confidence bands for both average and individual growth curves which may be of considerable value in the study of growth and development. This paper describes their method for constructing, and provides a menu-driven GAUSS386i program for computing these confidence bands. It is demonstrated how these bands are useful for both the diagnosis and prognostication of growth patterns with known levels of confidence. It is assumed that the study is planned so that individuals will be measured at the same times, but missing data are allowed.
道森等人(《美国医学遗传学杂志》第7卷,第529 - 536页,1980年)开发了一种为平均生长曲线和个体生长曲线构建置信带的方法,这在生长发育研究中可能具有相当大的价值。本文描述了他们构建置信带的方法,并提供了一个菜单驱动的GAUSS386i程序来计算这些置信带。展示了这些置信带如何在已知置信水平的情况下对生长模式的诊断和预后有用。假定研究计划使得个体在相同时间进行测量,但允许有缺失数据。
