Linear and nonlinear regression equations used in the present study to characterize the relationship between long bone measurements and stature

Regression Type (Measurements used)	Equation
Linear (Lengths, Breadths)	$y = a x + b$
Three-parameter Asymptotic Exponential (Lengths)	$y = a - b e^{- c x}$
Three-parameter Logistic (Breadths)	$y = \frac{a}{(1 + b e^{- c x})}$
