Examples

## A temperature response function
require(ggplot2)
set.seed(1234)
x <- 1:50
y <- card3(x, 13, 25, 36) + rnorm(length(x), sd = 0.05)
dat1 <- data.frame(x = x, y = y)
fit1 <- nls(y ~ SScard3(x, tb, to, tm), data = dat1)

ggplot(data = dat1, aes(x, y)) + 
  geom_point() + 
  geom_line(aes(y = fitted(fit1)))
