  • Chapter
Human Growth and Development

Abstract

We have been observing since 1971 stature and body weight of five siblings, Af, Bm, Cf, Df and Em (showing male or female with suffix m or f) from a single family; ages in July 1982 were 20, 19, 17, 14 and 11 years respectively. Observations are made monthly (Togo and Togo, 1982). Data is processed by the Census Method X 11 developed for time-series analysis by the U.S. Census Bureau. Original time-series 0 is assumed to consist of three components, namely trend-and-cycle factor C, seasonal factor S and irregular factor I, so that

$$O = C + S + I]$$
