Abstract:Background. The traditional allometric analysis relies on log-transformation to contemplate linear regression in geometrical space then retransforming to get Huxley's model of simple allometry. Views assert this induces bias endorsing multi-parameter complex allometry forms and nonlinear regression in arithmetical scales. Defenders of traditional approach deem it necessary since generally organismal growth is essentially multiplicative. Then keeping allometry as originally envisioned by Huxley requires a parad… Show more
