Available Models Table — available

Table containing the available models to be fit using fit_devmodels(). These models come from two other packages: devRate and rTPC .

Usage

data("available_models")

Format

`available_models`

A data.frame/tibble with 13 rows and 6 columns:

model_name: Model name to be used within fit_devmodels().
package: names of the packages used by fit_devmodels() to obtain appropriate start values for the user-provided data. When the package is rTPC package, start values are automatically computed with rTPC::get_start_vals(), which in turn relies on nls.multstart::nls_multstart(). When the package is devRate package, iterative starting values are computed using nls.multstart::nls_multstart(), using the parameters published in devRate::devRateEqStartVal() as first attempts to iterate. As an exception, if model_name == "briere1", generic starting values are provided and advised to the user due to the unrealistic value of some parameters in the devRate data set.
source_model_name: name of the function in the source packages rTPC and devRate.
formula, working_formula, n_params: formulas used for model fitting.
