Profile Analysis for a Growth Curve Model
Martin Ohlson, Muni S. Srivastava · JOURNAL OF THE JAPAN STATISTICAL SOCIETY · 2010
In this paper, we consider profile analysis of several groups where the groups have partly equal means. This leads to a profile analysis for a growth curve model. The likelihood ratio statistics are given for the three hypotheses known in literature as parallelism, level hypothesis and flatness. Furthermore, exact and asymptotic distributions are given in the relevant cases.
