note = "Three sigmoidal growth equations were tested for their usefulness in fitting mammalian growth curves. The von Bertalanffy, Gompertz, and logistic equations were fitted to growth data by nonlinear regression techniques. The residual sum of squares and deviations of predicted neonate, weaning, and adult masses from observed values were used as criteria to choose among the models.",
