About admiralmetabolic
admiralmetabolic has covered its core obesity derivations and moved to upkeep.
Three releases in thirteen months took the package from two anthropometric ratio derivations to ADVS, ADCOEQ and ADLB templates with matching vignettes and shared SDTM test data. The February 2026 release contains no new functions — a template path fix, a CRAN relative-path fix, central lint configuration, and the kapa.ai Ask AI widget added across admiral documentation.
