Research Status of Analysis Methods of the Growth Rates for Infants and Young Children
The growth rates for infants and young children are the frontier of fundamental research for growth and development.The analysis methods of the growth rates for infants and young children include Z-scores,2-point expo-nential method,2-point average method,Jenss-Bayley's growth model,piecewise linear mixed model,and Lambda-Mu-Sigmamodel.The analysis methods of influencing factors include multiple linear regression model,super imposi-tion by translation and rotation,and generalized linear model.The analysis methods of the growth rates for infants and young children were reviewed at home and abroad in this study.
