ashrafi2_2018: Ashrafi II model for fitting thermal performance curves

In padpadpadpad/rTPC: Fitting and Analysing Thermal Performance Curves

Ashrafi II model for fitting thermal performance curves

Description

Ashrafi II model for fitting thermal performance curves

Usage

ashrafi2_2018(temp, a, b, c)

Arguments

temp	temperature in degrees centigrade
a	dimensionless parameter
b	dimensionless parameter
c	dimensionless parameter

Details

Equation:

rate=a + b \cdot temp^{\frac{3}{2}} + c \cdot temp^{2}

Start values in get_start_vals are derived from the data or sensible values from the literature.

Limits in get_lower_lims and get_upper_lims are derived from the data or based extreme values that are unlikely to occur in ecological settings.

Value

a numeric vector of rate values based on the temperatures and parameter values provided to the function

Note

Generally we found this model easy to fit.

Examples

# load in ggplot
library(ggplot2)

# subset for the first TPC curve
data('chlorella_tpc')
d <- subset(chlorella_tpc, curve_id == 1)

# get start values and fit model
start_vals <- get_start_vals(d$temp, d$rate, model_name = 'ashrafi2_2018')
# fit model
mod <- nls.multstart::nls_multstart(rate~ashrafi2_2018(temp = temp, a, b, c),
data = d,
iter = c(4,4,4),
start_lower = start_vals - 10,
start_upper = start_vals + 10,
lower = get_lower_lims(d$temp, d$rate, model_name = 'ashrafi2_2018'),
upper = get_upper_lims(d$temp, d$rate, model_name = 'ashrafi2_2018'),
supp_errors = 'Y',
convergence_count = FALSE)

# look at model fit
summary(mod)

# get predictions
preds <- data.frame(temp = seq(min(d$temp), max(d$temp), length.out = 100))
preds <- broom::augment(mod, newdata = preds)

# plot
ggplot(preds) +
