fitFun {cellVolumeDist} | R Documentation |
This is an implementation of a model for the distribution
of cell volumes that constitutes Equation 7 in the paper listed in the
references. It evaluates volEq7
at a vector of volume
(μ m^3) values.
fitFun(par, t = 29, sigma_t = .3*t, V = 1:100)
par |
a list of parameter starting values, with elements A ,
r (μ m^3/h), and sigma_r (μ m^3/h) |
t |
a numeric value representing the average cell cycle time (h) |
sigma_t |
a numeric value representing the variability in the
average cell cycle time t (h) |
V |
a numeric value representing the (vector of) volumes (μ m^3) at which the model is to be evaluated |
A numeric vector representing a cell volume (μ m^3) distribution.
