Calf growth

Least squares estimates for growth rates each year were then calculated by the method of general least squares Stats → Regression analysis → Generalized Linear Models…with year (March-September) (CALFCLS) herd and sex as fixed effects together with linear (agemth) and quadratic (agesqr) covariate terms for age.

By then clicking the 'Predict' button to estimate and save in a spreadsheet predicted values for each year, these can also be copied into an appropriate column in CS10Data5.
