Effects of trimming weight-for-height data on growth-chart percentiles.
BACKGROUND Before estimating smoothed percentiles of weight-for-height and BMI-for-age to construct the WHO growth charts, WHO excluded observations that were considered to represent unhealthy weights for height. OBJECTIVE The objective was to estimate the effects of similar data trimming on empirical percentiles from the CDC growth-chart data set relative to the smoothed WHO percentiles for ...

متن کاملWeight for Length/Height Percentiles in Infants and Young Children in Kayseri/Turkey
OBJECTIVE To produce weight for length/height (WLH) percentiles to be used for the screening of growth and assessment of failure to thrive in infancy and early childhood.

متن کاملA bootstrap control chart for Birnbaum-Saunders percentiles
The problem of detecting a shift in the percentile of a Birnbaum–Saunders population in a process monitoring situation is considered. For example, such problems may arise when the quality characteristic of interest is tensile strength or breaking stress. The parametric bootstrap method is used to develop a quality control chart for monitoring percentiles when process measurements have a Birnbau...
