FFEPT

The analysis of the results below uses only the data couples (weight + length). The weight-only are not used.

The point cloud below allows us tu process the theoric chart of te weight/size ratio for the species of the studbook.

Process of the theoric chart

Data are adjusted with a 3rd degree polynom, i.e. it is such as y = a + bx + cx² + dx³

We use the mathematic formulas of the least squares to get 4 equations with 4 unklnowns a, b, c et d :

Thus :
320 = 3 a + 23 b + 209 c + 2135 d
3090 = 23 a + 209 b + 2135 c + 23393 d
33030 = 209 a + 2135 b + 23393 c + 266663 d
372810 = 2135 a + 23393 b + 266663 c + 3107729 d

With the Gauss pivot we get :
320 = 3 a + 23 b + 209 c + 2135 d
636.66666666667 = 0 a + 32.666666666667 b + 532.66666666667 c + -15835.666666667 d
10736.666666667 = 0 a + 532.66666666667 b + 8832.6666666667 c + 117924.66666667 d
145076.66666667 = 0 a + 7024.6666666667 b + 117924.66666667 c + 1588320.6666667 d
then :
320 = 3 a + 23 b + 209 c + 2135 d
636.66666666667 = 0 a + 32.666666666667 b + 532.66666666667 c + -15835.666666667 d
355.10204081633 = 0 a + 0 b + 146.9387755102 c + 376142.98639456 d
8167.3469387755 = 0 a + 0 b + 3379.5918367346 c + 4993635.3537415 d
then :
320 = 3 a + 23 b + 209 c + 2135 d
636.66666666667 = 0 a + 32.666666666667 b + 532.66666666667 c + -15835.666666667 d
355.10204081633 = 0 a + 0 b + 146.9387755102 c + 376142.98639456 d
-2.1464074961841E-10 = 0 a + 0 b + 0 c + -3657653.3333336 d

Thus :

d = 5.868263885544E-17
b = -19.916666666666
c = 2.4166666666666
a = 90.999999999997

We get the chart below (in red) :
y = 91.00 + -19.92 x + 2.42 x² + 0.00 x³

simplified by (in green) :
y = -19.92 x + 2.42 x²




Bodymass index (BMI) of all the Cuora pani

BMI = Weight (g) / size² (cm.mm)



Histogram of the distribution of the BMI of all the Cuora pani



Histogram of the distribution of the BMI of all the Cuora pani juveniles



Histogram of the distribution of the BMI of all the Cuora pani adults



The Bodymass index (BMI) is "the weight divided by the square of the size". Do it for yourself with your size in m,cm and your weight in kg, You will get a value between 20 and 25. A value above is said an overweight (and the same goes below 20). It is a good index, ask your doctor.
