In the paper a logistic model for the analysis of threshold traits observed at several time points is discussed. The theoretical considerations are illustrated with the use of data from a real experiment concerning the lodging of three varieties of seed pea. In the analysis three estimation procedures, following from the least squares principle, were used and compared.
