Reference equations for pulmonary diffusing capacity using segmented regression show similar predictive accuracy as GAMLSS models

Purpose To determine whether generalised additive models of location, scale and shape (GAMLSS) developed for pulmonary diffusing capacity are superior to segmented (piecewise) regression models, and to update reference equations for pulmonary diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO) and nitric...
