Functional observations: a biostatistical study of growth

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

A formulation is presented which describes a new method of handling responses which are characteristically a function relating measurable random variables to mathematical variables. The formulation considers each response a random function which is called a functional observation. This statistical formulation results in each response being summarized in a convenient functional form which can be used to derive other functional relationships which describe the response.
