Data: Initial Parameters for a von Bertalanffy Curve

Description

Starting parameter values for Linf, K, and t0 for von Bertalanffy minimization using length-at-age data (vbdata) for freshwater mussels (Anodonta kennerlyi).

Usage

data(vbpars)

Format

A matrix with 3 rows and 3 columns c("Linf","K","t0"). Each row contains the starting values, minima, and maxima, respectively, for the three parameters.

Details

Data for demonstration of the von Bertalanffy model used in the calcMin example.
