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

Abstract excerpt

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.
