Information about Hayashi's Japanese girls data

Hayashi, C., & Hayashi, F. (1982). A new algorithm to solve PARAFAC-model. Behaviormetrika, 11, 49-60.

P. 56: "The follow-up survey of growth of physical constitution of boys and girls for nine years (in the prefecture of Chiba) was conducted by a lecturer Hiroaki Terao at the Faculty of Medicine, Teikyo University. Here we use only the girls' data (6 years old to 14 years old).

x(i,j,k) means a numerical value for
the jth-measurement,
the ith-year and
the kth-individual, where
J=4 measurements: j=1 height, j=2 weight, j=3 chest girth, j=4 sitting height,
I=9 follow-up years and
K=32 girls (size of sample).

Hayashi's growth curve data of Japanese girls.
A 3-way data array X = (x(i,j,k)) has the following form

          |-----------|i=1
     |-----------|    |i=2
|-----------|    |    |..
|           |    |    |..
|           |    |____|i=I=9    k=K=32
|           |____|            k=2
|___________|              k=1

  j=1,..,J=4

      

  j=1,..,J=4
|-----------|i=1
