gbw: Geometric Mean Bodyweight (GMBW)
In aquacultuR: A Comprehensive R Tool for Zootechnical Metrics
gbw R Documentation
Geometric Mean Bodyweight (GMBW)
Description
A function that calculates the geometric mean of the initial and final
bodyweight.
Usage
gbw(ibw, fbw)
Arguments
ibw
numeric; initial bodyweight weight in grams.
fbw
numeric; final bodyweight in grams.
Details
While the arithmetic mean assumes a linear relationship between the averaged
numbers, the geometric mean accounts for the non-linear and potentially
variable nature of animal growth.
Value
numeric value that is the geometric mean bodyweight.
Author(s)
Anıl Axel Tellbüscher
Examples
data(weight2)
dplyr::mutate(weight2, GMBW = gbw(ibw_g, fbw_g))
