Estimates the maximum likelihood parameters for the 5-parameter logsitic function fit to dendrometer band data.

Description

This is the core fitting algorithm, which uses base optim() (with two sequential methods) to estimate the parameters of the logistic function. This follows McMahon and Parker 2014.

Usage

get.params(ts.data)

Arguments

ts.data

A dataframe of a time series of a single tree in a year. Must have column variables DBH_TRUE (numeric) and DOY (integer), as well as other designations.
