Abstract
In the paper an Edgeworth-type approximation to the density of the estimator of the location parameter in the Growth Curve model has been found. The approximation is a mixture of a normal and a Kotz-type distribution, thus being an elliptical distribution. Shape and properties of the distribution are examined. Finally a small example is given to demonstrate an application of the approximation
