fit_exp_lag_to_curve
Description
Fits the lag to one growth curve based on the basic tangent method
Usage
fit_exp_lag_to_curve(data, n0, tangent_method = "to.point", curve_points = 3)
Arguments
data |
a data frame with two required columns names: "time" and "biomass", This is data from one growth curve only, one (mean) observation per time |
n0 |
the initial biomass (a tangent line crossing N0 line will determine the lag) |
tangent_method |
"local.regression" (if the tangent is fitted to a number of points around the maximal growth rate) or "to.point" (if the tangent is fitted only to the point where the growth rate is maximal); defaults to "to.point" |
curve_points |
if tangent_method = "local.regression" then curve_points is the number of points the line is fitted to; defaults to 3 i.e. the point with the maximal uptake rate one point before and one point after |
Value
line_slope: slope of the tangent line, line_intercept: intercept of the tangent line, lag: lag, tangent_points: i..e a data frame of all points selected for fitting the line
