Description Usage Arguments Value See Also

View source: R/initrichards.R

Description

The function receives time points, growth data, values for A, μ and λ and returns a list object which entrys are used as initial values in the nonlinear fit procedure nls. In this type of model initial values for shape exponent ν.
