Weibull growth model

Description

Computes the Weibull growth model

y(t) = \alpha - \beta exp(-k * t^m)

Usage

weibull(t, alpha, beta, k, m)

weibull.inverse(x, alpha, beta, k, m)

Arguments

t

time

alpha

upper asymptote

beta

growth range

k

growth rate

m

slope of growth

x

size

Examples

growth <- weibull(0:10, 10, 0.5, 0.3, 0.5)

# Calculate inverse function
time <- weibull.inverse(growth, 10, 0.5, 0.3, 0.5)
