In cellVolumeDist: Functions to Fit Cell Volume Distributions and Thereby Estimate Cell Growth Rates and Division Times

Model for the distribution of cell volumes

Description

This is an implementation of a model for the distribution of cell volumes that constitutes Equation 7 in the paper listed in the references. It evaluates volEq7 at a vector of volume (μ m^3) values.

Usage

fitFun(par,  t = 29, sigma_t = .3*t, V = 1:100)

Arguments

par	a list of parameter starting values, with elements A, r (μ m^3/h), and sigma_r (μ m^3/h)
t	a numeric value representing the average cell cycle time (h)
sigma_t	a numeric value representing the variability in the average cell cycle time t (h)
V	a numeric value representing the (vector of) volumes (μ m^3) at which the model is to be evaluated

Value

A numeric vector representing a cell volume (μ m^3) distribution.
