Description
Accurate reference curves for biometric measures are essential for population health monitoring and screening. The Lambda Mu Sigma Method (LMS), introduced by Cole and Green, is widely used in public health for generating age-specific reference percentiles. This study compares LMS with cNORM, a distribution-free approach based on Taylor polynomials, previously validated in psychometric applications.
