Mixed linear models are assumed in most animal breeding applications. Convenient methods for computing BLUE of the estimable linear functions of the fixed elements of the model and for computing best ...

We demonstrate the implementation of a variety of non-linear models that are more appropriate for modeling plant growth than are the traditional, linear, models.Ecological inference is frequently ...

Six non-linear growth functions were fitted to tree height-diameter data of ten conifer species collected in the inland Northwest of the United States. The data sets represented a wide range of tree ...
