Mathematical preliminaries-- 2. Fundamentals of growth-- 3. Parametric growth curve modeling-- 4. estimation of trend-- 5. Dynamic site equations obtained from growth models-- 6. Nonlinear regression-- 7. Yield-density curves-- 8. Nonlinear mixed-effects models for repeated measurements data-- 9. Modeling the size and growth rate distributions of firms-- 10. Fundamentals of population dynamics-- Appendices-- References-- Index N2 - Suitable for upper-undergraduate and graduate courses on growth modeling, this title presents an introduction to growth curve modeling and addresses how to monitor the change in variables over time since there is no "one size fits all" approach to growth measurement.
