(20) Second, although the parallelogram model provides a slightly better fit of our data than the other two shapes, it does not serve as a better guide than the ellipsoidal model for interpolating from the measurements to thresholds in novel color directions.
Tridimensional
Definition:
(a.) Having three dimensions; extended in three different directions.
Example Sentences:
