mdr: Maximum Doubling Rate (MDR) for Generalised Logistic Function

In qfa: Tools for Quantitative Fitness Analysis (QFA) of Arrayed Microbial Cultures Growing on Solid Agar Surfaces

Description

Calculates the Generalised Logistic Model (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generalised_logistic_function) version of the Maximum Doubling Rate as presented in Addinall et al. 2011 (http://www.plosgenetics.org/doi/pgen.1001362). MDR is the inverse of the doubling time at the beginning of the experiment, where competition between cultures is at its lowest level.

Usage

mdr(K,r,g,v)

Arguments

K	Culture carrying capacity (AU). Same units as (normalised) cell density observed in growth curve.
r	Culture growth rate parameter (per day).
g	Inoculum denisty (AU). Same units as (normalised) cell density observed in growth curve.
v	Shape parameter. Recover logistic model with v = 0.
