摘要
In this paper we study the estimation of the rank of the parameter trix(RPM) in a growth curve model in the framework of model selection. Following AIC criterion we propose a new general criterion and obtain a strongly consistent estimate of the RPM. We come to our conclusions under the assumptions of normal population and a general case separately.
