The plots of a) VMExp/σapp calculated from finite element models vs VMExp/σapp predicted by the multiple regression model including BV/TV.Av and BV/TV.SD and b) the residuals indicated that the linear model fit was not appropriate. The transformation of variables resulted in an improved fit as indicated by the plots of c) calculated (VMExp/σapp)(λ) vs predicted (VMExp/σapp)(λ) app and d) the residuals from the model with transformed variables. e) Leverage plot for BV/TV.Av(λ) and f) leverage plot for BV/TV.SD(λ) in the transformed model. The model with transformed variables, unlike that with nontransformed variables, indicates a significant, albeit small, effect of BV/TV.SD on VMExp/σapp.
