The LR1 test result indicated that Cobb-Douglas production function is a more appropriate functional form for this study than the alternative translog production function.

Clearly, a more complex functional form is needed to describe the profile.

To impose a more restrictive functional form, with fewer parameters to estimate, can be a limitation on the use of SFA.

First of all, we confirm that the MRN size distribution reproduces the observed extinction curve (some small deviations can be fitted further if we adopt a more detailed functional form of the grain size distribution, which is beyond the scope of this paper; see Weingartner and Draine, 2001, for a detailed fitting).

We also note that the parametric models used above were specified primarily to simplify the exposition, and it is possible to more formally motivate the parametrization for the linear regression (1) using nonparametric arguments along the lines of Robins et al. (7), allowing for a more general functional form for the models and also incorporating covariates.
