allow users to upload their own growth reference requires defining standard format of growth reference data

one column for age
each measurement has
- l[ambda] - power transform to deal with skewness (i.e. $y^\lambda$)
- m[u] - median
- s[igma] - measure of dispersion (sd/mean i.e. coefficient of variation)

Is this output of LMSchartmaker? Ensure that we handle at least that format.

Support other methods e.g. gamlss

More requirement capture needed to determine exactly how we would like this to work.

Can we meet/skype to discuss?

Sorry, I should have responded properly to this ages ago.

We should certainly cover LMSchartmaker output, i.e. a table of age in years, L, M and S.

And extracting this same table from a gamlss BCCG model using predictAll(model) would also be very convenient, with a standard set of ages.

The variable name and the sex would also need adding.
