APPENDIX 2. — All the data used to establish the linear regression,computed with the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) algorithm (Hammer & Harper 2023), fit within the normal distributions. See also Appendices 3 and 4. Outliers are few and not far from other data (Appendix 4). Normality: the tests have been made only with the Certosa, Olivier and Teppe Hissar collections as the linear regression has been calculated with these three collections to avoid missing data.
