A causal model of human growth and its estimation using temporally-sparse data

2022-10-12

Abstract excerpt

Existing models of human growth provide little insight into underlying mechanisms responsible for inter-individual and inter-population variation in children’s growth trajectories. Building on general theories linking growth to metabolic rates, we develop a causal parametric model of height and weight growth incorporating a representation of human body allometry and a process-partitioned representation of ontogeny...
