nlsplot: Plot nonlinear models

Description

The function plot some nonlinear models

Usage

nlsplot(data, model = 1, start = c(a = 1, b = 1, c = 1, d = 1, e = 1), 
xlab = "Response Variable", ylab = "Explanatory Variable", position = 1)

Arguments

data

data is a data.frame

The first column should contain the treatments (explanatory variable) and the remaining columns the response variables.

model

define the model

1 = "y~a+b*x" linear

2 = "y~a+b*x+c*x^2" quadratic

3 = "y ~ a + b * (x - c) * (x <= c)" linear plateau

4 = "y ~ (a + b * x + c * I(x^2)) * (x <= -0.5 * b/c) + (a + I(-b^2/(4 * c))) * (x > -0.5 * b/c)" quadratic plateau

5 = "ifelse(x>=d,(a-c*d)+(b+c)*x, a+b*x)" two linear

6 = "y~a*exp(b*x)" exponential

7 = "y~a*(1+b*(exp(-c*x)))^-1" logistic

8 = "y~a*(1-b*(exp(-c*x)))^3" van bertalanffy

9 = "y~a*(1-b*(exp(-c*x)))" brody

10 = "y~a*exp(-b*exp(-c*x)" gompertz

11 = "y~(a*x^b)*exp(-c*x)" lactation curve

12 = "y ~ a + b * (1 - exp(-c * x))" ruminal degradation curve

13 = "y~(a/(1+exp(2-4*c*(x-e))))+(b/(1+exp(2-4*d*(x-e))))" logistic bi-compartmental

start

start iterations values of model

xlab

names of variable x

ylab

names of variable y

position

position of equation in the graph
