IORE.solution: Indeterminate order rate equation kinetics

Description

Function describing exponential decline from a defined starting value, with a concentration dependent rate constant.

Usage

IORE.solution(t, parent.0, k__iore, N)

Arguments

t

Time.

parent.0

Starting value for the response variable at time zero.

k__iore

Rate constant. Note that this depends on the concentration units used.

N

Exponent describing the nonlinearity of the rate equation

Value

The value of the response variable at time t.
