Abstract
Methods for estimating unconditional and conditional reference interva ls for foetal size and growth based on longitudinal observations are p resented. The methods are based on simple random-effects regression mo dels and involve transforming both the response and the covariate (tim epoint). A dataset from a designed longitudinal study of foetal size i s analysed in detail as a motivating example.
