boys7482

Cross-sectional anthropometric records for 7,482 Dutch boys aged 0 to 21
years that were used to construct the 1997 Dutch growth references. The
dataset stores standard auxological indicators together with puberty and
regional classification variables.

Extends the 'SelectBoost' approach to Generalized Additive Models for
Location, Scale and Shape (GAMLSS). Implements bootstrap stability-selection
across parameter-specific formulas (mu, sigma, nu, tau) via gamlss::stepGAIC().
Includes optional standardization of predictors and helper functions for
corrected AIC calculation. More details can be found in Bertrand and Maumy (2024)
<https://hal.science/hal-05352041> that highlights correlation-aware resampling to improve
variable selection for GAMLSS and quantile regression when predictors are
numerous and highly correlated.
