SSlbc: Self-Starting Nls Load Bearing Capacity Model
Description
A selfStart model that evaluates the Load Bearing Capacity
(Dias Jr., 1994) function and its gradient. It has an initial attribute
that creates initial estimates of the parameters b0 and b1.
Usage
SSlbc(theta, b0, b1)
Arguments
theta
a numeric vector of soil moisture values at which to evaluate the model.
b0
a numeric parameter.
b1
a numeric parameter.
Value
a numeric vector with the same length of theta. It is the value of the
expression $10^{(b0 + b1 * \theta)}$. Also, the gradient matrix with respect
to the parameters is attached as an attribute named gradient.
