This data frame contains the following columns:
Abdominal circumference: a numeric vector.
Gestational age: a numeric vector.
The data were used to derive reference intervals by Chitty et al. (1994) and also for comparing different reference centile methods by Wright and Royston (1997), who also commented that the distribution of z-scores obtained from the different fitted models "has somewhat longer tails than the normal distribution".
