Correction of LMS Parameter Errors in Published Noonan Syndrome Growth Charts
Chou, J. H.
Show abstract
Growth reference curves were recently published by Cappa et al 2024 for children with Noonan Syndrome, including the LMS parameters which should allow calculation of expected values at any centile. However, closer inspection revealed significant problems with the LMS parameters, including calculated values that diverged to infinity or to imaginary numbers. In this brief report, I describe issues found, recalculate the LMS parameters based on the provided expected centile values, and quantify the improvement in performance and identify where the greatest discrepancies were found between the published and re-estimated LMS values. It is hoped that the Cappa et al will provide updated and corrected parameters to allow more confident use of this important clinical resource.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
