getParams: Generates allometry models for input data

In troyhill/LUMCONplants: Allometry and Plant Dynamics in Louisiana Universities Marine Consortium Salt Marshes

Description

Generates allometry models for input data

Usage

getParams(dataset, massCol = "mass_tot", heightCol = "hgt",
  typeCol = "status", cutOff = 5, startVals = 0.2, timeName = NA,
  dataName = NA, returnPlot = FALSE, savePlot = FALSE,
  plotTitle = NA)

Arguments

dataset	input dataframe
massCol	name of column with mass data
heightCol	name of column with height data
typeCol	name of column with live/dead status
cutOff	minimum number of stems to be used for allometry model. Smaller numbers increase odds of convergence problems.
startVals	starting value used for allometry model coefficients and exponents
timeName	optional label for time period
dataName	optional label for data/site
returnPlot	if TRUE, a plot of allometry data is returned. Two panels, with live stems are on the left, dead are on right
savePlot	if TRUE, plot is saved to working directory
plotTitle	optional title for plot
