stannard

Stannard growth model


Description

Computes the Stannard growth model

y(t) = α *( 1 + exp(-(beta + k * t)/m))^(-m)

Usage

stannard(t, alpha, beta, k, m)

  stannard.inverse(x, alpha, beta, k, m)

Arguments

t

time

x

size

alpha

upper asymptote

beta

growth displacement

k

growth rate

m

slope of growth
