Estimate optimum temperature of a thermal performance curve
get_topt(model)Numeric estimate of optimum temperature (in ºC)
nls model object that contains a model of a thermal performance curve
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.
