Multivariate Semi-Metric Smoothing in Multiple Prediction

Abstract
Prediction parameters associated with childhood predictor variables for mature stature vary widely and irregularly across age. Aesthetics as well as pragmatism dictate that it would be far better to have some smooth functional relationship between age of child and the value of each prediction parameter at that age. An estimation method is developed which yields resistant estimates of regression coefficients which are continuous in age for each predictor variable.
