ipolygrowth: Individual Growth Curve Parameter Calculation using Polynomial Functions

Description

Calculation of key bacterial growth curve parameters using fourth degree polynomial functions. Six growth curve parameters are provided including peak growth rate, doubling time, lag time, maximum growth, and etc. 'ipolygrowth' takes time series data from individual biological samples (with technical replicates) or multiple samples.

Details

This package calculates growth curve parameters using fourth degree polynomial functions. The package was developed for bacterial growth experiments. Thus, data from microplate readers serve as the input data format for R functions in this package. Polynomial growth curves are estimated from time series data from a single biological sample or multiple samples. Technical replicates within biological samples are allowed. Output includes six calculated growth curve parameters: peak growth rate, peak growth time, doubling time at peak growth, lag time, max y, and max y time.
