Six-month gender- and age-specific weight gain reference curves in children who were initiated on HAART at HSCC (Soweto) between April, 2004 and March, 2008
Curves were obtained using Box Cox power exponential distribution (BCPE) LMS and GAMLSS. HSCC: Harriet Shezi Children’s Clinic Model for male: BCPE (age, df(μ) = 4, df(σ) = 0.5, df(υ) =0, df(τ)=1). Model for female: BCPE (age, df(μ) = 5.3, df(σ) = 0, df(υ) =0, df(τ)=0)
