Preface
Growth curve model (GCM) is an empirical model for the evolution of a certain characteristic of interest varying over time. These models are of application in different branches of science. The present volume is based on the conference on GCM held in the Indian Statistical Institute, Giridih, during October 23–24, 2017, as a part of the celebration of the 125th birth anniversary of Prof. P. C. Mahalanobis, founder of the Indian Statistical Institute. He was a pioneer of research in statistical theory and methodologies in India and abroad. The conference proceedings are based on 11 research papers, theoretical and applied, mainly contributed by the participants of the conference. We further invited our colleagues and researchers working on GCM and related topics to contribute to the volume. One could submit more than one paper if
