Completed years; 19.2% end in 0 or 5 (20% expected), so no heaping. 8 values top-coded ">89"; 10 infants recorded in tenths of a year.

Measurement space

00.51true minus recorded (years)density

A vertical slice through the measurement space: how the true value is spread around any one recorded value. Its shape is uniform.

Time

This variable carries no time of its own in the dataset.

In this release

How wide the true-value distribution is, record by record, over 6,380 of 6,388 records (all clinical rows) that have one. Computed with the pinned model, aggregates only.

Median p10 to p90
Standard deviation 0.289 years 0.289 to 0.289 years
95% interval width 0.95 years 0.95 to 0.95 years

Anchor

The release says only "years"; infants in tenths and the >89 cap point to an exact age cut down to completed years. See what an anchor is and every variable's anchor.
