\title{
Berkeley Growth Study Data
}
\description{
The data set contains the heights of 39 boys and 54 girls from age 1 to 18 and the ages at which they were collected.
}
\usage{
dataf.growth()
}
\format{
The functional data as a data structure.
\describe{
\item{\code{dataf}}{
The functional data as a list of objects. Each object is characterized by two coordinates
\describe{
\item{\code{args}}{\bold{age} - a numeric vector of length 31 giving the ages at which the heights were measured}
\item{\code{vals}}{\bold{height} - a numeric vector of heights in centimeters of 39 boys and 54 girls}
}
}
\item{\code{labels}}{The classes of the objects: boy, girl}
}
}
\details{
The ages are not equally spaced.
