FL |
a value or vector representing femoral length (in mm) |
eqn |
a character specifying the desired prediction equation (see Details) |
data |
an optional object of |
Possible estimation equations (eqn =
) include: "theropods"
, "sauropods"
, and "ornithischians"
. See O'Gorman & Hone (2012) for specific details and Campione & Evans (2020) for evaluations of the models.
If a data object is specified, the mass estiamtes will be added as a column to the data.frame or matrix within that object.
