Age Class

A term defined in ecology as a group of individuals of the same age within a species. A similar “taxonomic” device has evolved in medicine, where large blocks of patients are divided by age and treated by the appropriate specialist—neonatologist, pediatrician, and adolescent medicine specialist in the beginning of life, and geriatrician at the end of life.

This test compared regression equations, assessing whether there is a difference between the sum of the regression squares fitted for each age class and the sum of the regression squares fitted for the set of all of the ages based on the analysis of variance and F test, i.e., testing whether or not it is necessary to develop taper equations, stratifying the data into age classes.
