It was studied the autocorrelation of the residuals from the linear and logistic growth curve models. Goodness of fit of the models was determined by mean square error (MSE) and determination coefficient values. As a result, logistic growth curve model was more successful than linear model in the description of body measurements according to goodness of fit criterions}, number={3}, publisher={Ankara University}
