An instance of babystat.Child can be used to import and plot growth
percentiles compared to the WHO mean as it is used at a pediatrician.
Suppose there is a boy named Johnny born on 2018/07/15.
from babystat import Child
# Instantiate new Child and retrieve WHO growth data
boy = Child(gender='male', birthday='2018-07-15', name='Johnny')babystat.Child weight data has to be imported by an external file containing
the measurement data in the following format. See example file.
date, measured_weight
2018-07-15, 3.81
2018-07-17, 3.60
2018-07-20, 3.60
2018-07-23, 3.50
# Import Child weight data from external csv
df = boy.import_weight_data('weight_data_example.txt')babystast.Child object has a plot method to plot the percentiles of
Johnnys weight curve versus the WHO mean. See docstring for possible options
for mode.
# Calculate percentiles and plot
boy.plot(df, mode='both')
The left plot shows the measurement data over the percentile curves of the WHO mean and displays the actual percentile value of the child. The right plot shows the same data adjusted for the difference of Johnnys birth weight compared to the WHO mean.
