Nyashadzaishe, UK and I believe WHO growth charts are derived using LMS method which you can do in R - look for papers by TJ Cole. I also suspect you might get a response from a certain NHG Holford telling you to look at his NONMEM method: Paediatr Anaesth. 2011 Mar;21(3):309-15 - I have only skimmed this paper but I think the introduction gives a review of possible methods. BW, Joe

There seem to be a lack of concensus in literature on the functions (models) one can use. I am therefore looking for some pointers from anyone who could have worked on something similar before.
