Taylor's law is a statistical principle that describes the relationship between the mean and variance of biological populations. It states that the variance of a population is often proportional to a power of its mean. More formally, if \\( S^2 \\) represents the variance and \\( \\mu \\) represents the mean of a population, Taylor's law can be expressed as: \\\[ S^2 = a \\mu^b \\\] where \\( a \\) and \\( b \\) are constants.
