Estimation of maximum biomass as the A parameter in the Chapman-Richards and Logistic growth equations. Since A is modelled as linear term, it is a matrix product of its linear coefficients. It is assumed that all coefficients are related additively.

extractMaxB(mll, newdata, average = FALSE, model = c("CR", "Logistic"))

Arguments

mll

the output of an bbmle::mle2 call (the fitted non-linear model), from which coefficient values will be extracted

newdata

data for estimation of 'A'

average

should 'A' be estimated for average values of its predictors.

model

character. Non-linear model form used to estimate average maximum biomass. One of "CR" (Chapman-Richards) or "Logistic".
