Title: Semiparametric reference curves for EDEN cohort
Authors: Sandie Ferrigno - INRIA Nancy and University Nancy Lorraine (France) [presenting]
Abstract: In medicine, reference curves are an important tool for clinical practice. Centile charts for fetal measurements are routinely used to screen for fetuses that may be of abnormal size for gestational age. Data are from the French EDEN mother-child cohort. As measures of child growth, we are studying fetal weight and height that depends on the gestational age, in the third trimester of mothers pregnancy. Semi-parametric methods as LMS are used to construct these curves. In order to compare their performances, AIC and BIC criteria are used.
