Maximum Doubling Potential (MDP) for Generalised Logistic Function

Description

Calculates the Generalised Logistic Model (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generalised_logistic_function) version of the Maximum Doubling Potential as presented in Addinall et al. 2011 (http://www.plosgenetics.org/doi/pgen.1001362). MDP is the number of doublings undergone by the culture population from the inoculum density (g) to carrying capcity (K) throughout the experiment.

Usage

mdp(K,r,g,v)

Arguments

K

Culture carrying capacity (AU). Same units as (normalised) cell density observed in growth curve.

r

Culture growth rate parameter (per day).

g

Inoculum denisty (AU). Same units as (normalised) cell density observed in growth curve.

v

Shape parameter. Recover logistic model with v = 0.
