Abstract
Lambda-Mu-Sigma and Box-Cox Power Exponential are popular methods for constructing centile curves but are difficult to understand for medical professionals. As a result, the methods are used by experts only. Non-experts use software as a blackbox that can lead to wrong curves. This article explains these methods in a simple non-mathematical language so that medical professionals can use them correctly and confidently.
