Six-month gender- and age-specific height gain reference curves among children who were initiated on ART at HSCC (Soweto) between April, 2004 and March, 2008
The 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) =9.1, df(σ) =0, df(υ) =0, df(τ)=2). Model for female: BCPE (age, df(μ)=7, df(σ) =0, df(υ) =0, df(τ)=0).
