I want to predict wing length using regression commands. (lm and predict) The data details are as followed Data: Bird physiological data 1. body mass 2. body length 3. wing length Data type: Order A: consisting of 20 species, body mass and length of all 20 species are measured Order B: consisting of 2 species, body mass and length of only 1 species is measured Order C: consisting of 5 species, body mass and length of only 1 species is measured Method: 1. for order A, using predict and lm datam.lm <-lm(Wing.Length~Body.mass+Body.Length) However, for order B and C, please kindly advise any method to get wing length based on body mass and length.
Perhaps the Delphi method?
