Para_deriv {eHOF}

Curve derivatives of eHOF models

Description

Slope and inflection points for the eHOF model types.

Usage

Para_deriv(
  resp,
  newdata = NULL,
  model = NULL,
  p,
  type = c("slope", "inflection"),
  ...
)

Arguments

resp

response model results, see [HOF()].

newdata

new gradient vector, if NULL a vector with 10000 values within gradient range will be used.

model

response model type. If not specified, the output of [pick.model()] will be used.

p

Vector of model parameters. If not specified, resp$models[[model]]$par will be used.

type

Output type: slope or inflection points of model curves.

...

further arguments passed to or from other methods, e.g. for [pick.model()].

Value

For slope a vector of slopes for all newdata points. Inflection points are the extremes of the second derivative.
