Description

Provides functions to fit non-linear regression curves such aslogistic (Bentsink et al. 2010 <doi:10.1073/pnas.1000410107> and 2011<doi:bentsink_identification_2011>, Postma et al. 2015<doi:10.1111/mec.13061>) and log-logistic models (Fogliatto et al. 2020<doi:10.1080/11263504.2019.1578282>) to germination count data recorded atsequential time intervals of seed storage. Facilitates estimation of keyparameters such as days of seed dry storage required to reach 50%germination and rate of dormancy release.
