sds: Calculate SDS Values

In mvogel78/childsds: Data and Methods Around Reference Values in Pediatrics

Description

Calculate SDS values

Usage

sds(value, age, sex, item, ref, type = "SDS", male = "male",
  female = "female")

Arguments

value	vector of measurement values
age	vector of age values
sex	vector of sex
item	name of the item e.g. "height"
ref	RefGroup object
type	"SDS" or "perc"
male	coding of sex for male
female	coding of sex for female

Details

The function takes a vector of measurement values, and of age and of sex and a RefGroup object as arguments. It calculates the sds or percentile values.

Value

vector containing SDS or percentile values
