An object of class data.frame
with 30 rows and 6 columns.
An object of class data.frame
with 8 rows and 6 columns.
An object of class data.frame
with 952 rows and 6 columns.
An object of class data.frame
with 276 rows and 8 columns.
Data sets are named to reflect the source.
For all the data sets provided units are uniform:
Patient age; months
length/height/stature; cm
kilograms
integer value; 1 = male, 0 = female
systolic blood pressure; mmHg
diastolic blood pressure; mmHg
Columns with a name such as sbp
is a point observations. Summary
statistics are appended to the variable as needed, e.g., sbp_mean
and
sbp_sd
for the reported mean and standard deviation of systolic blood
pressure.
CDC ages represent whole month but reported at the half month. That is, age = 12.5 is short-hand for 12 <= age < 13. The exception is birth; age = 0 is birth and not a range.
bp_parameters
has the estimated mean and
standard deviations for estimating percentiles using a Gaussian distribution
for a given sex, age (in months), and height (if known/applicable).
