On correlations between adjacent velocities and accelerations in longitudinal growth data. 1990

G A Harrison, and G Brush
Department of Biological Anthropology, University of Oxford, U.K.

Correlations are examined between adjacent velocity and acceleration growth in stature, weight and skinfold thickness in a group of adolescent boys measured approximately quarterly. It is concluded that some substantial component of the variability behaves rather like measurement error, and this is likely to represent negative feedback homeostasis.
