| Zusammenfassung: | In order to gain an understanding of the dynamics of human individual and average growth patterns it is essential that the right methods are selected. There are a variety of methods available to analyse individual growth patterns, to estimate variation in different growth measures in populations and to relate genetic and environmental factors to individual and average growth. This 2004 volume provides an overview of modern techniques for the assessment and collection of growth data and methods of analysis for individual and population growth data. The book contains the basic mathematical and statistical tools required to understand the concepts of the methods under discussion and worked examples of analyses, but it is neither a mathematical treatise, nor a recipe book for growth data analysis. Aimed at junior and senior researchers involved in the analysis of human growth data, this book will be an essential reference for anthropologists, auxologists and paediatricians |

Hagenaars In order to gain an understanding of the dynamics of human individual and average growth patterns it is essential that the right methods are selected. There are a variety of methods available to analyse individual growth patterns, to estimate variation in different growth measures in populations and to relate genetic and environmental factors to individual and average growth. This 2004 volume provides an overview of modern techniques for the assessment and collection of growth data and methods of analysis for individual and population growth data. The book contains the basic mathematical and statistical tools required to understand the concepts of the methods under discussion and worked examples of analyses, but it is neither a mathematical treatise, nor a recipe book for growth data analysis. Aimed at junior and senior researchers involved in the analysis of human growth data, this book will be an essential reference for anthropologists, auxologists and paediatricians Human growth / Research Human growth / Longitudinal studies Human growth / Statistical methods Population research Physical anthropology / Methodology Anthropometrie (DE-588)4125475-2 gnd rswk-swf Mensch (DE-588)4038639-9 gnd rswk-swf Forschungsmethode (DE-588)4155046-8 gnd rswk-swf Methode (DE-588)4038971-6 gnd rswk-swf Wachstum (DE-588)4064115-6 gnd rswk-swf 1\p (DE-588)4143413-4 Aufsatzsammlung gnd-content Mensch (DE-588)4038639-9 s Wachstum (DE-588)4064115-6 s Anthropometrie (DE-588)4125475-2 s Methode (DE-588)4038971-6 s 2\p DE-604 Forschungsmethode (DE-588)4155046-8 s 3\p DE-604 Hauspie, Roland (DE-588)1159370265 edt Cameron, Noël edt Molinari, Luciano 1944- (DE-588)125909411 edt Erscheint auch als Druckausgabe 978-0-521-18381-9 Erscheint auch als Druckausgabe 978-0-521-82050-9 https://doi.org/10.1017/CBO9780511542411 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 3\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
