Re: [R] Antropometrics with R
You might want to take a look at this article by WEI, PERE, KOENKER, AND HE. Its in the research files of Koenker who is a regular contributor to R-help: http://www.econ.uiuc.edu/~roger/research/growth/growth.pdf In particular it mentions lmsqreg, which would be a package that implements the L M S methodology used by the CDC to produce these files. the above paper discusses that package as a starting point and then offers an alternative using quantreg. The lmsqreg package can be acquired with this code: install.packages(lmsqreg, repos=http://R-Forge.R-project.org;) library(lmsqreg) There is a function, zscores, that might illustrate how to apply the L, M, S columns in those CDC datasets. You might consider posting on the Bioconductor list if these queries are unsuccessfl or contacting Vincent Carey, who is a Bioconductor Core member and appears to have done quite a bit of work in related areas: http://biosun1.harvard.edu/~carey/ (I have taken the liberty of correcting the spelling of the subject line so it can be found on searches more easily.

Re: [R] Antropometrics with R
The gamlss package, by Mikis Stasinopoulos and available at
http://www.gamlss.com/ as well as from CRAN, is also very flexible,
allowing shape and scale adjustment.

I suppose it is possible that someone will know what is in that
stata
package, but it would make more sense if you were to summarize what
features
would be of use.
I want a package that contains functions to give antropometric
values,
at least for the children.

age-specific percentiles???

[R] Antropometrics with R
Hey greate ones, is there any way to have something similar to stata zanthro on R? I want a package that contains functions to give antropometric values, at least for the children.
