dscore: D-Score for Child Development

The D-score summarizes the child's performance on a set of milestones into a single number. The package implements four Rasch model keys to convert milestone scores into a D-score. It provides tools to calculate the D-score and its precision from the child's milestone scores, to convert the D-score into the Development-for-Age Z-score (DAZ) using age-conditional references, and to map milestone names into a generic 9-position item naming convention.
