Summary of Gompertz Fits

Description

Summarizes parameter estimates and goodness-of-fit statistics for a fitted Gompertz model.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'gompertz_fit'
summary(object, ...)

Arguments

object	A gompertz_fit object.
...	Additional arguments passed to methods.

Details

The summary typically includes:

• Asymptotic gas production (A)

• Maximum gas production rate (mu)

• Lag time (lambda)

• Residual Sum of Squares (RSS)

• Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE)

• R-squared (R²)

• Akaike Information Criterion (AIC)

• Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC)

The modified Gompertz model provides a biologically meaningful description of fermentation kinetics by explicitly estimating:

• Final gas production potential

• Maximum fermentation rate

• Lag phase duration

Value

A data frame containing parameter estimates and model diagnostics for each fitted bottle.
