Abstract: The growth curve model is a well-documented multivariate model, with a well-established methodology of maximum likelihood estimation. We propose a growth curve model family with an orthogonal covariance structure for lines and columns, proceeding with the derivation of maximum likelihood statistics. Many familiar models fall within this model family, as it will be shown.
