Abstract
A method is proposed, using approximation formulas, for deriving confidence limits for the Richards function, and also for relative growth rates derived from the function. A simulation study provides evidence of the acceptability of the method even when samples are small. An example is given of the application of the method to leaf [Impatiens parviflora] growth.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
