read_anthro {growthcleanr}

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

Description

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

Usage

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

prelim_infants

For more information regarding the logic of the algorithm, see the vignette 'Preliminary Infants Algorithm.' Defaults to FALSE.

Value

Function for calculating BMI based on measurement, age in days, sex, and measurement value.

Examples

# 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)
