TITLE:             Another Look at Longitudinal Data

                       ABSTRACT

    Longitudinal data, repeated measures or growth curves are usually
analyzed by some multivariate methods.  A different elementary approach is
introduced here to estimate slope and intercept of unequally spaced data by
nonparametric methods.  Analogies to univariate and bivariate (regression)
methods are demonstrated.
