generalisedRichard: Generalised Richard growth model

Description

Computes the Generalised Richard growth model $$y(t) = A + \frac{U - A}{(1 + \beta exp(-k (t - t_0)))^{(1/m)} }$$

Usage

generalisedRichard(t, A, U, k, m, beta, t0)

Arguments

t

time

A

the lower asymptote

U

the upper asymptote

k

growth range

m

slope of growth

beta

growth range

t0

time shift (default 0)
