Maturity age is the mean of the positive female and male values present. The three named binomials were compared with the pre-registered inequalities. Among Mammalia rows with positive adult weight, growth rate and maturity age, OLS of ln(adult weight) on ln(growth rate) and ln(maturity age) was compared with each one-predictor model by partial t-tests and AIC. No species was dropped as an outlier. The verdict is the pre-registered rule applied to those quantities. https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/assessment/thompson1917-ch03-11--claim-test http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type https://w3id.org/delphi/ontology/Assessment https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/assessment/thompson1917-ch03-11--claim-test http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#comment Measured: undefined undefined. Interpretation: Thompson (1917, ch. III), quoting Minot: final size is a resultant of rate and duration; the rabbit is bigger than the guinea-pig because it grows faster, and man is bigger than the rabbit because he grows for longer. 'Size finally attained' is AnAge adult weight. 'Rate' is the database's fitted postnatal growth-rate constant, not a rate recomputed from adult weight and age (that recomputation would make the decomposition an identity). 'Duration of growth' is proxied by age at sexual maturity, the duration field the compilation actually carries; age at growth cessation is not in the file. The mammal regression asks whether both factors associate with adult mass beyond the three named species. It does not identify a causal mechanism, and a fitted growth constant can be partly entangled with asymptotic size. https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/assessment/thompson1917-ch03-11--claim-test http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#label Claim test of thompson1917-ch03-11: mixed, confidence 0.66 https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/assessment/thompson1917-ch03-11--claim-test http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#seeAlso https://github.com/fractastical/delphisci/blob/bf2af6ee0a84e23ffa6414ad7a0a50a8c276506e/test-data/claim-tests/thompson-growth-form/thompson1917-ch03-11/result.json https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/assessment/thompson1917-ch03-11--claim-test http://www.w3.org/ns/prov#wasAttributedTo https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/agent/delphisci-claim-tester-grok-4-7 https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/assessment/thompson1917-ch03-11--claim-test https://w3id.org/delphi/ontology/admissibleDatasets A public species-level compilation that records, for the same species, adult body mass, a postnatal growth-rate constant that was not computed by the tester from that mass and a duration, and an age that proxies the length of the growth period, including the three named mammal binomials.

These are species-level database values, not individual growth curves. https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/assessment/thompson1917-ch03-11--claim-test https://w3id.org/delphi/ontology/evidenceAgainst Age at sexual maturity stands in for duration of growth. AnAge has no age at cessation of growth. For humans the recorded maturity ages are about 13 and 14 years, not the age at adult stature. https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/assessment/thompson1917-ch03-11--claim-test https://w3id.org/delphi/ontology/evidenceAgainst The European rabbit row has no male maturity age, so its duration is the female value alone. https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/assessment/thompson1917-ch03-11--claim-test https://w3id.org/delphi/ontology/evidenceAgainst The growth-rate column is a specific constant in 1/days, not grams gained per day. Across the 243 mammals its partial slope on ln adult mass is negative, so larger species have slower specific rates. An absolute mass-gain reading of 'grows the faster' was not tested. https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/assessment/thompson1917-ch03-11--claim-test https://w3id.org/delphi/ontology/evidenceAgainst The rabbit is faster than the guinea pig, as the contrast required, and also matures about ten times later. The pre-registered contrast does not require rate to be the larger factor. https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/assessment/thompson1917-ch03-11--claim-test https://w3id.org/delphi/ontology/evidenceAgainst release.html says build 15 has 4,671 entries; the table parses to 4,645 data rows. https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/assessment/thompson1917-ch03-11--claim-test https://w3id.org/delphi/ontology/expectedObservation Oryctolagus cuniculus has greater adult mass and a greater growth-rate constant than Cavia porcellus; Homo sapiens has greater adult mass, a later maturity age, and a smaller growth-rate constant than Oryctolagus cuniculus; among mammals, log adult mass increases with both log growth-rate constant and log maturity age when both are entered together. https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/assessment/thompson1917-ch03-11--claim-test https://w3id.org/delphi/ontology/failCriterion Pre-registered. REFUTES if either weight ordering is reversed (W_rabbit < W_guinea-pig or W_human < W_rabbit), or the rabbit is heavier but not faster (W_rabbit > W_guinea-pig and k_rabbit < k_guinea-pig), or the human is heavier but does not mature later (W_human > W_rabbit and T_human < T_rabbit), or the human is heavier and matures later but also has k_human > k_rabbit, or (n >= 40 and both partial slopes are <= 0). MIXED if the rows are scorable and the outcome is neither SUPPORTS nor REFUTES, including a case in which the named contrasts hold but the joint test does not, or only one named contrast holds. A tie in a required strict inequality makes that contrast fail. INCONCLUSIVE reason data-unavailable if the AnAge zip cannot be fetched or a named species lacks W or k, or lacks T when the contrast needs T. INCONCLUSIVE reason underpowered if both contrasts are scorable, neither refutation clause has fired, and n < 40 so the joint test cannot be scored: the verdict is then SUPPORTS if both contrasts hold, MIXED if only one holds, and is not underpowered. https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/assessment/thompson1917-ch03-11--claim-test https://w3id.org/delphi/ontology/hasConfidence 0.66 https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/assessment/thompson1917-ch03-11--claim-test https://w3id.org/delphi/ontology/hasEvidence https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/evidence/thompson1917-ch03-11--claim-test--dataset-1 https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/assessment/thompson1917-ch03-11--claim-test https://w3id.org/delphi/ontology/hasVerdict mixed https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/assessment/thompson1917-ch03-11--claim-test https://w3id.org/delphi/ontology/hypothesis Adult body mass is a joint result of a postnatal growth-rate constant and the duration of growth: the rabbit is heavier than the guinea-pig and has the higher growth-rate constant, while the human is heavier than the rabbit, has the longer maturity age, and has the lower growth-rate constant; across mammals both log rate and log duration have independent positive associations with log adult mass. https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/assessment/thompson1917-ch03-11--claim-test https://w3id.org/delphi/ontology/inferenceMethod Two directional species contrasts as stated by Thompson, plus OLS of log adult mass on log growth rate and log maturity age compared with the two nested one-predictor models by partial t-tests (p < 0.05) and AIC (delta >= 2).

Named rows are the exact binomials Homo sapiens, Oryctolagus cuniculus and Cavia porcellus (Genus + species). Rabbit–guinea-pig holds if W_rabbit > W_guinea-pig and k_rabbit > k_guinea-pig. Human–rabbit holds if W_human > W_rabbit and T_human > T_rabbit and k_human < k_rabbit. The joint test uses Mammalia rows (Class column, if present; otherwise all rows) with W, k and T all finite and > 0. Fit OLS log(W) ~ log(k) + log(T) with an intercept (natural logs). Joint holds if n >= 40, both slopes are > 0, both two-sided t p-values are < 0.05, and the two-predictor AIC is at least 2 lower than the AIC of each one-predictor model (log k alone, and log T alone), with AIC = n*ln(RSS/n) + 2*p including the intercept.
