Weight in infancy and death from ischaemic heart disease.

TL;DR: Measurements that promote prenatal and postnatal growth may reduce deaths from ischaemic heart disease and may be especially important in boys who weigh below 7.5 pounds (3.4 kg) at birth.

Smoothing reference centile curves: The lms method and penalized likelihood

TL;DR: The LMS method summarizes the changing distribution of a measurement as it changes according to some covariate by three curves representing the median, coefficient of variation and skewness, the latter expressed as a Box-Cox power.

Generalized additive models for location, scale and shape

TL;DR: The generalized additive model for location, scale and shape (GAMLSS) as mentioned in this paper is a general class of statistical models for a univariate response variable, which assumes independent observations of the response variable y given the parameters, the explanatory variables and the values of the random effects.

Quantile regression for longitudinal data

TL;DR: In this paper, a general approach to estimating quantile regression models for longitudinal data is proposed employing l 1 regularization methods, based on the penalized least squares interpretation of the classical random effects estimator.
