get.gr.flr: Extract exponential growth rate assuming exponential death...

In ctkremer/growthTools: Tools for analyzing time series of microbial abundances to estimate growth rates

Description

This function fits a smoothed piecewise linear model to ln(abundance) data, with the assumption that abundances decrease linearly at first, but then hit a floor and remain constant - consistent with a population that declines to the detection limit of fluoresence.

Usage

get.gr.flr(x, y, plotQ = F, fpath = NA, id = "")

Arguments

x	Time steps
y	ln(abundance)
plotQ	logical; should the fit be plotted?
fpath	character; path specifying where plot should be saved, if generated
id	Label corresponding to the population/strain/species of interest

Value

This function returns a nonlinear least-squares regression model
