Two Programs for Predicting Adult Stature for Individuals

Howard Wainer Ph.D.1 and David Thissen Ph.D.1

1 University of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois

Two computer programs are described which use the new RWT method to predict adult stature for individuals. This method, developed and described by Roche et al. is the best and most accurate one available to date. The two programs are prepared with different aims in different languages. Program 1 is interactive, written in BASIC and is aimed for the clinician who needs predictions for just a few individuals at a time. Program 2 is written in FORTRAN and is meant for large-scale batch processing. It is thought that this mode is better for the researcher who is more interested in large-scale testing of hypotheses about such things as the efficacy of intervention programs in human growth.
