英文摘要A nonparametric hierarchical growth curve, model is proposed. Different levels in the model hierarchy are intended to correspond to different sources of variation in an individual's growth. The nonparametric character of the model offers considerable flexibility in fitting the growth curves to empirical data. Here the emphasis is on prediction, and for this purpose the adopted Bayesian inferential approach seems particularly natural and efficient. A Markov chain Carlo method is used to perform the numerical computations. As an illustration of the techniques, we consider the: growth of children, during their first two years.; Mathematical & Computational Biology; Statistics & Probability; SCI(E); 2; ARTICLE; 6; 741-759; 39
