get_topt: Estimate optimum temperature of a thermal performance curve

Description

Estimate optimum temperature of a thermal performance curve

Usage

get_topt(model)

Value

Numeric estimate of optimum temperature (in ºC)

Arguments

model

nls model object that contains a model of a thermal performance curve

Details

Optimum temperature (ºC) is calculated by predicting over the temperature range using the previously estimated parameters and keeping the temperature where the largest rate value occurs. Predictions are done every 0.001 ºC so the estimate of optimum temperature should be accurate up to 0.001 ºC.
