In nlstools: Tools for nonlinear regression diagnostics

Description

A data frames describing the specific growth rate of Escherichia coli as a function of various environmental factors

Usage

data(ross)

Format

A data frame with five columns (author: the author of the paper from which the data was extracted, T: the temperature in Celsius, aw: the water activity, pH: the pH value, sqrtmumax: the square root of the maximum specific growth rate)

Examples

data(ross)
def.par <- par(no.readonly = TRUE)
par(mfrow = c(2, 2))
plot(ross[c("T", "sqrtmumax")])
plot(ross[c("pH", "sqrtmumax")])
plot(ross[c("aw", "sqrtmumax")])
