dynamic_model {ChillModels}

Dynamic Model

Description

Quantifies the chill accumulation with dynamic equation (two-steps).

Usage

dynamic_model(x, total = TRUE)

Arguments

x

Vector containing temperature values (Celsius-degree).

total

TRUE Shows the total value of accumulation, FALSE shows the value of chill for each temperature (TRUE is default).

Details

The model is based on dynamic accumulation, by means of the relationship between temperatures. The dynamic model assumes that the accumulated chill-units are not annulled by high temperatures.

Value

The function returns values the chill for each temperature of vector (Total = FALSE), or returns the chill accumulation (Total = TRUE).

Note

Code adapted from the function Dynamic_Model, of the chillR Package
