blumberg: Blumberg growth model

In drodriguezperez/growthmodels: Nonlinear Growth Models

Description

Computes the Blumberg growth model and its inverse

y(t) = (α * (t - t_0)^m)/(w_0 + (t - t_0)^m)

Usage

blumberg(t, alpha, w0, m, t0 = 0)

blumberg.inverse(x, alpha, w0, m, t0 = 0)

Arguments

t	time
alpha	upper asymptote
w0	a reference value at t = t0
m	slope of growth
t0	time shift (default 0)
x	size

growth <- blumberg(0:10, 10, 2, 0.5)

# Calculate inverse function
time <- blumberg.inverse(growth, 12, 2, 0.5)
