In padpadpadpad/rTPC: Fitting and Analysing Thermal Performance Curves

Rosso model for fitting thermal performance curves

Description

Rosso model for fitting thermal performance curves

Usage

rosso_1993(temp, rmax, topt, tmin, tmax)

Arguments

temp	temperature in degrees centigrade
rmax	maximum rate at optimum temperature
topt	optimum temperature (ºC)
tmin	low temperature (ºC) at which rates become negative
tmax	high temperature (ºC) at which rates become negative

Details

Equation:

rate= rmax \cdot \frac{(temp - t_{max}) \cdot (temp - t_{min})^2}{(t_{opt} - t_{min}) \cdot ((t_{opt} - t_{min}) \cdot (temp - t_{opt}) - (t_{opt} - t_{max}) \cdot (t_{opt} + t_{min} - 2 \cdot temp))}

Start values in get_start_vals are derived from the data.

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.

# load in ggplot
library(ggplot2)
library(nls.multstart)

# 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 = 'rosso_1993')
# fit model
mod <- nls_multstart(rate~lrf_1991(temp = temp, rmax, topt, tmin, tmax),
data = d,
iter = c(3,3,3,3),
start_lower = start_vals - 10,
start_upper = start_vals + 10,
lower = get_lower_lims(d$temp, d$rate, model_name = 'rosso_1993'),
upper = get_upper_lims(d$temp, d$rate, model_name = 'rosso_1993'),
supp_errors = 'Y',
convergence_count = FALSE)

# look at model fit
summary(mod)

# get predictions
