Calculating Cole's LMS values and smoothed centiles for growth data 
---------------------------------------------------------------
	^colelms^ yvar, ^age^group(var) [^sex^(var) ^cent^ile(# # #) ^df^(#) ^nos^mooth] 
  
Variables required
------------------
	^yvar^ -- growth measurements: height, weight or BMI ..

Options 
-------
	^age^group -- specifies age group variable for LMS calculation.

	^sex^ -- specifies sex variable to calculate LMS seperately for males and
		females
	
	^cent^ile(varname) -- specifies "standard" centiles based on smoothed LMS
		values

	^df^(#) -- specifies degrees of freedom for GAM (See STB 42)
