In thlytras/rspiro: Implementation of Spirometry Equations

#' Convert spirometric values to \% predicted using GLI global (2022) equations
#'
#' This function takes absolute spirometry measurements (FEV1, FVC or FEV1FVC)
#' in lt plus demographic data (age, height, gender) and converts
#' them to percent (\%) predicted based on the GLI global (2022) equations.
#'
#' @param age Age in years
#' @param height Height in meters
#' @param gender Gender (1 = male, 2 = female) or a factor with two levels (first = male). Default is 1.
#' @param FEV1 Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second (lt)
#' @param FVC Forced Vital Capacity (lt)
#' @param FEV1FVC FEV1 / FVC ratio
#'
#' @details At least one of the spirometric measurement arguments must be set (i.e. be
#' non-\code{NULL}). Arguments \code{age}, \code{height} and \code{gender} 
#' must be vectors of length equal to the length of the
#' spirometric measurement vector(s), or of length one, in which case their
#' value is recycled. If any input vector is not of equal length, the function
#' stops with an error.
#'
#' @return If only one spirometry argument is supplied, the function
#' returns a numeric vector. If more are supplied, the function returns 
#' a data.frame with the same number of columns.
#'
#' @examples
#' # Random data, 4 patients, one parameter supplied (FEV1)
