Method: lms the LMS method; sd23 WHO’s restricted LMS method beyond ±3 SD; cdf the INTERGROWTH-21st models (\(Z = \Phi^{-1}(F(y))\)). On cdc_2000_bmi, CDC’s extended method applies above the 95th percentile. Website: whether a PediTools calculator uses the chart. See vignette("methods", package = "peditools2").
