Hypothetical lengths at annual ages. These data are useful for testing growth related functions (e.g., findGrowthStarts) as they were generated from known growth functions (e.g., von Bertalanffy) with some random error and are, thus, “as good as it gets” for testing.
Arguments
Format
A data frame of 179 observations on the following 5 variables:
age
Ages as a whole number
tlV
Total length simulated from a von Bertalanffy growth function with Linf=450, K=0.3, and t0=-0.5
tlG
Total length simulated from a Gompertz growth function with Linf=450, gi=0.3, and ti=3
tlL
Total length simulated from a logistic growth function with Linf=450, gninf=0.5, and ti=3
tlR
Total length simulated from a Richards growth function with Linf=450, k=0.5, ti=2, and b=-0.5
