    Abstract: In this study, repeated records of body-weight of Awassi lambs were considered for analysis. Records included up to five ‘repeated records’ of body-weight per lamb, measured between birth weight and 4th month of age, were used in the analysis. Most statistical approaches in such data are based on analysis of variance (ANOVA). However, the assumptio... Show More
