logistic.solution() R function from [mkin]

Logistic kinetics

Function describing exponential decline from a defined starting value, with an increasing rate constant, supposedly caused by microbial growth


logistic.solution(t, parent_0, kmax, k0, r)

Arguments

t: Time.
parent_0: Starting value for the response variable at time zero.
kmax: Maximum rate constant.
k0: Minimum rate constant effective at time zero.
r: Growth rate of the increase in the rate constant.

Returns

The value of the response variable at time t.

Note

The solution of the logistic model reduces to the SFO.solution if k0 is equal to kmax.
