title: A distribution-free test for paired growth curve analyses with application to an animal tumour immunotherapy experiment.
abstract: We describe distribution-free statistical methodology for assessing the equivalence of paired growth curves. This procedure may be used with incomplete observations, and in situations where parametric models for growth are inappropriate. We present data from an experiment investigating an immunotherapy regimen in a murine tumour system and which we have analysed with this technique.
