Alternative relationship line fits. (a) Least-squares forced through the origin: this method accounts for the relationship passing through the origin as expected from physiological considerations. (b) LMS method: this method is less susceptible to outliers, especially those which may skew the distribution. (c) LMSO method (LMS forced through origin): this combines the robust nature of the LMS method with the requirement for the relationship to pass through the origin.
