epifitter - Analysis and Simulation of Plant Disease Progress Curves
Tools for analysis, visualization, and simulation of plant
disease progress curves. Includes functions to calculate
area-under-the-curve summaries, fit and compare exponential,
monomolecular, logistic, and Gompertz models using linear or
nonlinear regression, work with single or multiple epidemics,
and produce 'ggplot2'-based visualizations. Also includes an
experimental powdery mildew dataset for reproducible teaching
and research workflows. See Madden, Hughes, and van den Bosch
(2007) <doi:10.1094/9780890545058> for background on the
epidemiological methods.
