Subject | st: calculating z-scores for growth with WHO file |
Date | Sun, 1 Dec 2013 10:23:59 +0100 |
Dear Statalist, I'm having trouble with calculating zscores out of the absolute growth data in my database (which I need to make scatter plots). I am using Stat 10.0 for Windows. In my database I have the gender, length, weight and scull perimeter of children of variable ages visiting the hospital. Next I have downloaded the World Health Organization file zscore06.dta (command: ssc install zscore06) which contains all the z-scores for a certain age, weight etc. How do I calculate the z-scores for my data? Do I have to merge the files, and how do I proceed from there? Thank you for your consideration!
