Description: Calculation of sex- and age-standardized growth metrics 
    based on the 2000 CDC growth charts for children and adolescents 
    with ages of >= 24.0 to < 240 months. Provides functions to generate 
    z-scores and percentiles for weight, height, and body mass index (BMI) 
    using the LMS method (lambda-mu-sigma). Includes extended BMI z-scores 
    for values above the 95th percentile to more accurately characterize 
    the sex- and age-standardized BMI of children with very high BMIs.
