Calculates the residual sum of squares error between measured resistance data and the predicted resistances for a given set of model parameters.

|
params |
A vector of the 2 tip geometry parameters, where |
data |
The recorded data as an XY list or data frame, where |
rho |
Resistivity of the filler solution, in ohm centimetres. The default value of 51 ohm cm corresponds to a 150 mM solution of KCl. |
l |
The initial length of the pipette tip. Because the resistance is dominated by the narrower tip region, the precise value of this is not usually important provided it is much greater than the breakage distance. |
This function quantifies the error between a posited model of the pipette tip geometry and
the results actually recorded. It is organised for minimisation by the standard optim
function, and is used as such within fit.breakage
. It is not expected to be
much used outside that context.
The calculated error value.
