Abstract
In this work, we propose a heteroscedastic Von Bertalanffy growth model considering a multiplicative heteroscedastic dispersion matrix. All estimates were obtained using a sampling based approach, which allows information to be input beforehand with lower computational effort. Simulations were carried out in order to verify some frequentist properties of the estimation procedure in the presence of small and moderate sample sizes.
The methodology is illustrated on a real Kubbard female chicken corporeal weight dataset.
