Streszczenie:
Frequently in practice the estimation of polynomials which describe course of changes for a studied feature in a given time interval can be significantly disturbed by some concomitant variables with values changing in time. The situation where values of concomitant variables in successive time points are the same for all experimental units is considered. The influence of these variables on estimation of polynomials by two methods: Potthoff–Roy’s and iterative is examined. The investigation is carried out on the data obtained by computer simulation.
