Estimating the body mass of extinct ungulates: a study on the use of multiple regression (2006, methodology): “…have used external skeletal measures, such as the length and width of major limb bones (e.g. Alexander et al., 1979; Jungers, 1985, 1990; Christiansen, 2004), whereas others have focused on structural characteristics of these elements, such as the dimensions of their inner medullary…”
Mass Prediction in Theropod Dinosaurs (2004, background): “…the correlation coefficient, but also the %SEE and %PE, since these are frequently superior to the correlation coefficient in evaluating the predictive power of the equations (see also Christiansen, 2004), and may even be directly incorporated into the final mass estimates (Christiansen, 2004a).”
Shoulder Height, Body Mass, and Shape of Proboscideans (2015, methodology): “Comparison between the allometric (Christiansen 2004) and volumetric (this paper) method for estimation of body mass from a selected”
