.linear.formula

Fit growth curves to various known microbial growth models automatically to estimate growth parameters. Growth curves can be plotted with their uncertainty band. Growth models are: modified Gompertz model (Zwietering et al. (1990) <doi:10.1128/aem.56.6.1875-1881.1990>), Baranyi model (Baranyi and Roberts (1994) <doi:10.1016/0168-1605%2894%2990157-0>), Rosso model (Rosso et al. (1993) <doi:10.1006/jtbi.1993.1099>) and linear model (Dantigny (2005) <doi:10.1016/j.ijfoodmicro.2004.10.013>).
