\title{Calibrating centile curves}
\description{
 This function can used when the fitted model centiles do not coincide with the sample centiles.  
}
\usage{
calibration(object, xvar, cent = c(0.4, 2, 10, 25, 50, 75, 90, 98, 99.6),
            legend = FALSE, fan = FALSE, ...)
}
\arguments{
  \item{object}{a gamlss fitted object}
  \item{xvar}{The explanatory variable}
  \item{cent}{a vector with elements the \% centile values for which the centile curves have to be evaluated}
  \item{legend}{whether legend is required}
  \item{fan}{whether to use the fan  version of centiles}
  \item{\dots}{other argument pass on to \code{centiles()} function}
}
\details{
The  function finds the sample quantiles of the residuals of the fitted model (the z-scores) and use them as sample quantile in the argument \code{cent} of the \code{centiles()} function. This procedure is appropriate if the fitted model centiles do not coincide with the sample centiles and when this failure is the same in all values of the explanatory variable \code{xvar}.
}
\value{
A centile plot is produced and the sample centiles below each centile curve are printed (or saved)
}
