Abstract

An algorithm for estimating allometric coefficients widely used in biological studies is presented. The coefficients can be estimated only when the relationship between logarithms of the approximated data meets the linearity criterion. The proposed algorithm was applied for the brain-body weight relationship in mammals and oxygen consumption rate-body weight relationship in amphibians.
