In this study, we re-evaluate the baryonic Tully-Fisher relation (BTFR) by analyzing the correlations between maximum rotational velocity and various mass components, including stellar mass, atomic hydrogen (H I) mass, baryonic mass, and dark matter mass in a sample of 141 disk galaxies from the SPARC (Spitzer Photometry and Accurate Rotation Curves) database, augmented by recent data on stellar and dark matter masses. We apply multiple statistical methods, including Monte Carlo orthogonal distance regression (MCODR), Monte Carlo least-squares (MCLS), and traditional least-squares (LS), to assess the impact of different fitting techniques on the derived scaling relations between the mass components (stellar, H I, and dark matter) and maximum rotational velocities of these galaxies. We find that the selection of statistical methods significantly influences the derived slopes and intercepts the relation between maximum rotational velocity and mass components. The MCODR method that accounts for errors in both variables consistently produces steeper slopes, suggesting a stronger correlation between stellar mass and rotational dynamics compared to other methods. In contrast, the MCLS method tends to yield flatter slopes, highlighting the sensitivity of this approach to outliers. Despite the variations in slope and intercept across different methods, the fundamental relation between baryonic mass and rotational velocity remains robust. We have also compared dark matter mass derived from different halo models [NFW (Navarro-Frenk-White) versus combined NFW + Dekel-Zhao profiles] and noted that the slope from the NFW profile is slightly steeper than that from the combined profile, highlighting the sensitivity of scaling relations to the selection of halo model. Overall, this study reinforces the robustness of the BTFR across different mass components in disk galaxies while emphasizing the critical role of statistical methods and dark matter profiles in analyzing galactic dynamics.
