title: The modified - Spillman model for asymptotic regression.
abstract: In order to describe teen-agers height growth a new asymptotic model called Spillman modified model is presented. The model introduces a non-linear enlargement of independent variable in the Spillman model and fits excellently to the observed data in comparison with the Spillman, logistic, Gompertz, and log-inverse models.
