Hey greate ones, is there any way to have something similar to stata zanthro on R? I want a package that contains functions to give antropometric values, at least for the children. Caveman

You might want to take a look at this article by WEI, PERE, KOENKER,
AND HE. Its in the research files of Koenker who is a regular
contributor to R-help:
http://www.econ.uiuc.edu/~roger/research/growth/growth.pdf
In particular it mentions lmsqreg, which would be a package that
implements the L M S methodology used by the CDC to produce these
files. the above paper discusses that package as a starting point and
then offers an alternative using quantreg.
The lmsqreg package can be acquired with this code:
install.packages("lmsqreg",
repos="http://R-Forge.R-project.org")
library(lmsqreg)
There is a function, zscores, that might illustrate how to apply the
L, M, S columns in those CDC datasets. You might consider posting on
the Bioconductor list if these queries are unsuccessfl or contacting
Vincent Carey, who is a Bioconductor Core member and appears to have
done quite a bit of work in related areas:
http://biosun1.harvard.edu/~carey/
(I have taken the liberty of correcting the spelling of the subject
line so it can be found on searches more easily. Seems possible that
searching with that alternate spelling might improve your subsequent
searches as well.)

I then forgot to substitute the English spelling of "anthropometric".> -- > David > > On Oct 28, 2009, at 3:24 AM, Orvalho Augusto wrote: > >> Thanks! >> >> Yes I want a program in R that uses that data and produce percentiles >> and z-scores.

The gamlss package, by Mikis Stasinopoulos and available at http://www.gamlss.com/ as well as from CRAN, is also very flexible, allowing shape and scale adjustment.
