Description: Implementation of various spirometry equations
    in R, currently the GLI-2012 (Global Lung Initiative;
    Quanjer et al. 2012 <doi:10.1183/09031936.00080312>),
    the race-neutral GLI global 2022 (Global Lung Initiative;
    Bowerman et al. 2023 <doi:10.1164/rccm.202205-0963OC>), the
    NHANES3 (National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey;
    Hankinson et al. 1999 <doi:10.1164/ajrccm.159.1.9712108>)
    and the JRS 2014 (Japanese Respiratory Society; Kubota
    et al. 2014 <doi:10.1016/j.resinv.2014.03.003>) equations.
    Also the GLI-2017 diffusing capacity equations 
    <doi:10.1183/13993003.00010-2017> are implemented.
    Contains user-friendly functions to calculate predicted 
    and LLN (Lower Limit of Normal) values for different 
    spirometric parameters such as FEV1 (Forced Expiratory 
    Volume in 1 second), FVC (Forced Vital Capacity), etc, 
    and to convert absolute spirometry measurements 
    to percent (%) predicted and z-scores.
