Abstract
Let be a -dimensional random vector measurable on the individuals drawn from each of -dimensional normal populations . In this paper we consider the growth curve model which has a mean structure as follows: , where is a given matrix with rank and ’s are unknown parameter vectors. First we derive an test for a parallelism hypothesis , where ’s are unknown parameters, and is the -dimensional vector with all the elements 1. Next we obtain the MLE of and its distribution, and propose a simultaneous confidence interval for linear combinations of .
