Bu tez altı bölümden oluşmaktadır: Birinci bölümünde; büyümenin genel tanımı ile
büyüme analizinin diğer bilim dallarıyla ilişkisinden bahsedilmiştir. İkinci bölümünde;
büyümenin modellenmesi, büyüme eğrileri ve büyüme parametrelerinin tahmininde
kullanılan doğrusal olmayan sigmoidal büyüme modellerinin yapısı anlatılmıştır.
Ayrıca, uygun modelin seçim kriterlerine yer verilmiştir. Üçüncü bölümde
araştırmanın materyal ve yöntemi izah edilmiştir. Dördüncü bölümde doğrusal
olmayan sigmoidal modellerin mekanik modele dönüştürülme sebepleri ve Bertalanffy
modelinin mekanik modele nasıl dönüştüğü adım adım açıklanmıştır. Beşinci bölümde
ise; bu modellerden Logistic, Gompertz, Holling ve Bertalanffy modellerine ait birinci
ve ikinci türevler yardımıyla hesaplanan biyolojik anlamlı parametrelerin değerleri
çizelgeler halinde verilmiş, kangal köpeklerine ait sekiz haftalık sayısal büyüme
verileri kullanılarak MAPLE paket programı yardımıyla parametre değerleri
hesaplanmıştır. Gözlenen değerler ile tahminlenen değerler karşılaştırılmış, model
seçim kriterleri gözönüne alınarak en uygun model elde edilmiştir. Son bölümde elde
edilen sonuçlar belirtilmiş ve sonraki çalışmalar için önerilerde bulunulmuştur.,This thesis consists of six parts. In the first part, it is mentioned the general definition
of the growth and the relation of the growth analysis with other disciplines, In the
second part, it is explained the modelling of the growth, growth curve, and the structure
of the non-linear sigmodial growth models that are used in the prediction of growth
parameters. Furthermore, criteria of choosing the suitable model is included. In the
third part, materials and methods of the research are explained. In the fourth part, the
reasons of transforing the non-linear sigmodial models to mechanical model, and how
to transform Bertanlanfyy model to mechanical model are explained step by step. In
the fifth part, the values of the biological meaning parameters that is calculated with
the first and the second derivatives, belonging to Logistic, Gompertz, Holling and
Bertalanffy models among the other models, are shown with charts, and by means of
MAPLE packaged software the values of parameters have been calculated by using
the eight week numeric growth data that is belong to Kangal dog with MAPLE
packaged software. After that, observed value and predicted value has been compared,
and the most suitable model has been achieved regarding the model choosing criteria.
In the last part, achieved results are indicated and suggestions are given for the followup studies.
