epifitter

Analysis and visualization of plant disease progress curve data. Functions for fitting two-parameter population dynamics models (exponential, monomolecular, logistic and Gompertz) to proportion data for single or multiple epidemics using either linear or no-linear regression. Statistical and visual outputs are provided to aid in model selection. Synthetic curves can be simulated for any of the models given the parameters. See Laurence V. Madden, Gareth Hughes, and Frank van den Bosch (2007) doi:10.1094/9780890545058 for further information on the methods.
