Title: Calculating Childhood Mortality Rates
Description: Calculates childhood (neonatal, postneonatal, infant, child, and under-five) mortality rates using Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) microdata.
The 'childhoodmortality' package was developed in accordance to the methodology outlined in the "DHS Guide to Statistics" (Rutstein 2006,
<http://dhsprogram.com/pubs/pdf/DHSG1/Guide_to_DHS_Statistics_29Oct2012_DHSG1.pdf>) Specifically, the package uses a synthetic cohort
life table approach, combining mortality probabilities for age segments with actual cohort mortality experience into more common age
segments. Standard errors for mortality estimates are computed using the jackknife repeated replication method outlined in the "Estimates of Sampling Errors"
appendix of DHS Final Reports (DHS 2004, <http://dhsprogram.com/pubs/pdf/FR175/19AppendixB.pdf>). This methodology controls for sample design.

Title: Data and Methods Around Reference Values in Pediatrics
Authors@R: person("Mandy", "Vogel", email = "mandy.vogel@googlemail.com", role = c("aut", "cre"))
Description: Calculation of standard deviation scores adduced from different
growth standards (WHO, UK, Germany, Italy, China, etc). Therefore, the calculation of SDS-values
for different measures like BMI, weight, height, head circumference, different
ratios, etc. are easy to carry out. Also, references for laboratory values in
children are available: serum lipids, iron-related blood parameters. In the
new version, there are also functions combining the gamlss lms() function with
resampling methods for using with repeated measurements and family dependencies.
