Given an mle estimate of the distribution parameters transform into rates of growth and quiescence. The transformation into a growth rate is the exact method of Powell. The quiescence rate uses Poisson estimation. Standard errors are computed using the numerical delta method.

q_rate containing (d) the growth rate and (q) the quiescence rate as a numeric vector, as well as additional attributes of stderr, n and df used.

The method of determining growth rate is taken from POWELL E.0. (1956). Growth Rate and Generation Time of Bacteria, with Special Reference to Continuous Culture. J.Gen.Microbial V15,492-511. This makes a robust estimator in the presence of skewed distributions.
