mvogel78 / childsds

Calculation of standard deviation scores adduced from different growth standards (WHO, US, 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.

warnings using ukwho.ref for BMI #6

Closed philip-ad closed 3 years ago

philip-ad commented 3 years ago

Hi Whenever I run the sds(.) with ref = ukwho and item ='bmi' I get a series 8 of identical warnings "In regularize.values(x, y, ties, missing(ties), na.rm = na.rm) : collapsing to unique 'x' values"

It does however produce a value which looks credible. I am not getting this message with height or weight or with other references (such as uk1990)

Any ideas? Should the results still be reliable despite the warnings

thanks and best wishes Phil

Hi Phil, thanks for your message. The warnings are because of a duplicated line in the references. Nothing to worry about, the calculations are correct. However, I will fix it in the next version.

Regards Mandy
