RefCurv is a software providing methods to create pediatric reference curves from data. The graphical user interface (GUI) is written in Python. RefCurv uses R and the [GAMLSS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generalized_additive_model_for_location,_scale_and_shape) add-on package as the underlying statistical engine. | ||
RefCurv is a software providing methods to create pediatric reference curves from data. Furthermore, it comes with a big number of features to analyze reference curves. The graphical user interface (GUI) is written in Python. RefCurv uses R and the [GAMLSS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generalized_additive_model_for_location,_scale_and_shape) add-on package as the underlying statistical engine. | ||

## Example | ||
|
||
Following figure shows example reference curves for Body Mass Index (BMI) over age: | ||

|
||
The curves are based on a dataset of healthy Dutch boys. | ||
RefCurv was used to fit a model to the data points and depict it in form of percentile curves. The labels indicate the percentiles, e.g. "P3" stands for the third percentile. | ||
