count_mu_phase1: Median of phase1 references

In dscore: D-Score for Child Development

Median of phase1 references

Description

Returns the age-interpolated median of the phase1 references based on LF & SF in GSED-BGD, GSED-PAK, GSED-TZA.

Usage

count_mu_phase1(t)

Arguments

t	Decimal age, numeric vector

Details

The interpolation is done in two rounds. First round: Calculate D-scores using .gcdg prior-mean, calculate reference, estimate round 1 parameters used in this function. Round 2: Calculate D-score using round 1 estimates as the prior mean (most differences are within 0.1 D-score points), recalculate references, estimate round 2 parameters used in this function.

Round 1: Count model: <= 9MN: 21.3449 + 26.4916 t + 7.0251(t + 0.2) Count model: > 9Mn & <= 3.5 YR: 14.69947 - 12.18636 t + 69.11675(t + 0.92) Linear model: > 3.5 YRS: 61.40956 + 3.80904 t

Round 2: Count model: < 9MND: 20.5883 + 27.3376 t + 6.4254(t + 0.2) Count model: > 9MND & < 3.5 YR: 14.63748 - 12.11774 t + 69.05463(t + 0.92) Linear model: > 3.5 YRS: 61.37967 + 3.83513 t

The working range is 0-3.5 years. After the age of 3.5 years, the function will increase at an arbitrary rate of 3.8 D-score points per year. This function is intended to be called when key = "gsed2212", key = "gsed2208" or key = "293_0".

Value

A vector of length length(t) with the median of the GCDG references.

Note

Internal function. Called by dscore()
