Methodologies useful in classifying preschool children into nutritional categories are presented and evaluated with respect to classification accuracy. The methodologies are illustrated with data from a study conducted by the National Nutrition Council of the Philippines on the relationships of family characteristics and preschool children's nutritional levels. We have demonstrated that reasonably good classification ability can be achieved with rather simple statistical methodologies.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
