Function to calculate z-scores and csd-scores based on anthro tables.

Usage

read_anthro(path = "", cdc.only = FALSE)

Arguments

path: Path to supplied reference anthro data. Defaults to package anthro tables.
cdc.only: Whether or not only CDC data should be used. Defaults to false.

Value

A function f(param, agedays, sex, measurement, csd = FALSE) that returns, for each measurement, its LMS z-score (default) or, when csd = TRUE, its CSD ("standard deviation") score against the selected reference (WHO below age 5 years and CDC from age 5 years, or CDC at all ages when cdc.only = TRUE; the 2-5 year WHO/CDC blending used by cleangrowth() is not applied here).

Examples

# \donttest{
# Return calculating function with all defaults
afunc <- read_anthro()

# Return calculating function while specifying a path and using only CDC data
afunc <- read_anthro(path = system.file("extdata", package = "growthcleanr"),
                     cdc.only = TRUE)
# }
