Description Usage Arguments Value

View source: R/growth-parameters.R

Description

Calculates colony growth parameters by fitting a smooth growth curve using smooth.spline.

Usage

1

Arguments

time

Numeric - time of growth.

size

Numeric - size of colony.

...

Further arguments passed to smooth.spline.

Value

Returns a data frame with the following parameters derived from the fit curve:

A Maximum growth.
A_t Time at maximum growth.
mu Maximum growth rate.
mu_t Time at maximum growth rate.
mu_y Growth at maximum growth rate.
lambda Lag phase (x-intercept of line tangent to max growth rate).
b y-intercept of line tangent to max growth rate.
integral Area under growth curve.
spar Smoothing parameter used to generate curve - can be set by passing a spar argument to smooth.spline.
