A New Program to Estimate the Parameters of Preston’s Equation, a General Formula for Describing the Egg Shape of Birds

Preston’s equation is a general model describing the egg shape of birds. The parameters of Preston’s equation are usually estimated after re-expressing it as the Todd-Smart equation and scaling the egg’s actual length to two. This method assumes that the straight line through the two points on an eg...
