Description Usage Arguments Value Examples

Fitting the chamberlet number vs. chamberlet height series of each chamber of a specimen with a polynomial function of 2nd order. The parameters of this function are used to calculate the maximum chamberlet height and its position within a chamber. Two different approaches can be chosen when calculating maximum chamberlet height. Either based solely on calculations or the theoretical maximum chamberlet height and position are compared with the actual data and if they strongly deviate from each other the actual values are used. The maximum chamberlet height is fitted by an exponential function and the extracted function parameters are the ImaxACtH and maxACtHinc. The position of the maximum chamberlet height is fitted by an exponential function and were function parameter a assumes 1 and function parameter b is extracted as posACtHinc.

1	EstParamACtH(approach_ACtH, print.mod, path_plot, dev_plot, dev_plot_Ct)

`approach_ACtH`	input which approach should be used TRUE or FALSe
`print.mod`	input if the model should be printed; TRUE or FALSE
`path_plot`	path where graphs should be saved; string
`dev_plot`	which extension should be used to save graphs of the exponential function; string - if = NULL then graphs are not saved
`dev_plot_Ct`	which extension should be used to save graphs of the Michaelis Menten function; string - if = NULL then graphs are not saved

the function returns the estimated parameters ImaxACtH, maxACtHinc and posACtHinc for each specimens as a new column in the summary table
