\title{Pediatric Growth Standard Distribution Functions}
\arguments{
\item{q}{a vector of quantiles}

\item{p}{a vector of probabilities}

\item{male}{integer value, 1 = male, 0 = female}

\item{age}{numeric age, in months}

\item{length, height}{in centimeters}

\item{source}{a character string denoting the data source providing the
parameters needed for the estimate.  Valid values are "CDC" and "WHO".  This
can be set explicitly, or by using the \code{pedbp_pgs_source} option.}

\item{...}{pass through}
}
\value{
\code{p_} method return values from the estimated distribution function.

\code{q_} methods return values from the estimated quantile function.

\code{z_} methods return standard scores.
}
\description{
Growth standards based on data from the Centers for Disease Control and the
World Health Organization.

\section{Notes}{
 CDC Recommends using WHO growth charts for infants and
children ages 0 to 2 years of age in the U.S. and CDC growth charts to
monitor growth for children age 2 years and older in the U.S.
