Examination of the Effects of Curvature in Geometrical Space on Accuracy of Scaling Derived Projections of Plant Biomass Units: Applications to the Assessment of Average Leaf Biomass in Eelgrass Shoots

Figure 16

Residuals and normal probability plots ((a) and (b) one to one) for the fitting of the nonlinear heteroscedastic regression model of (E.1). We can observe a slightly biased distribution of residuals around the zero line. Also, normal Q-Q plot in (b) displays heavier tails than those expected for a normal distribution.
