#' The WHO 2006 growth standard and WHO 2007 growth reference
#'
#' The WHO growth standard (WHO 2006) and growth reference (2007) for height,
#' weight and body mass index, fitted by the LMS method and
#' summarised by values of L, M and S by sex from birth to 19 years.
#'
#' The L, M and S values for each measurement correspond respectively to the
#' Box-Cox power, median and coefficient of variation of the distribution by
#' age and sex (Cole & Green 1992). The short names and units for each measurement (see
#' \code{\link{LMS2z}}) are as follows: height (ht, cm), weight (wt, kg) and body mass
#' index (bmi, kg/m2).
