gcvals: Creates an object of type gcvals.

In growthcurver: Simple Metrics to Summarize Growth Curves

Description

Constructor function for the "gcvals" class. This object is most often obtained when calling SummarizeGrowth (it is the first parameter in the gcvals object).

Usage

gcvals(
  k,
  k_se,
  k_p,
  n0,
  n0_se,
  n0_p,
  r,
  r_se,
  r_p,
  sigma,
  df,
  t_mid,
  dt,
  auc_l,
  auc_e,
  note
)

Arguments

k	The carrying capacity parameter
k_se	The standard error of the carrying capacity parameter
k_p	The p value of the carrying capacity parameter
n0	The initial population size
n0_se	The standard error of the initial population size
n0_p	The p value of the initial population size
r	The growth rate
r_se	The standard error of the growth rate
r_p	The p value of the growthrate
sigma	Residual standard error from non-linear least squares fit of the model to the data
df	Degrees of freedom
t_mid	The time at the inflection point of the logistic curve (occurs at half of the carrying capacity)
dt	The maximum doubling time, obtained by evaluating the the unrestrained growth of the population with growth rate r
auc_l	The area under the curve of the fitted logistic equation from time 0 to time t
auc_e	The area under the curve of the measurements.
note	Feedback on common problems with fitting the logistic curve to the data

Value

An object of class gcvals.
