“…The RMA version of orthogonal regression is graphically depicted in Curran and Hay (1986). Van Huffel (1997) contains examples of orthogonal regression's usage in astronomy, meteorology, 3-D motion estimation, biomedical signal processing, and multivariate calibration. RMA, specifically, is quite commonly applied in allometry (Conrad & Gutmann, 1996;Gower, Kucharik, & Norman, 1999;Nicol & Mackauer, 1999;Niklas & Buckman, 1994).…”
