Interquartile Range (IQR) of Estimated Individual Trajectories Regressed on Age by Race/Gender

Total (n = 29) White men (n = 29) Black men (n = 27) White women (n = 29) Black women (n = 27)

Adj-R2 .83 .87 .33 .76 −.04
RMSE .18 .14 .63 .22 .44

Note. Calculation of IQR limited to ages 55–81 for black men and black women due to the sparsity of data (<30 data points) over age 81. Linear, quadratic, cubic, and quartic age functions tested for the total sample and for each race/gender and best-fitting model selected based on RMSE. Coefficients with standard errors (in parentheses) reported.
