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
(\(\mu m^3\)) values.
fitFun(par, t = 29, sigma_t = .3*t, V = 1:100)
a list of parameter starting values, with elements A
,
r
(\(\mu m^3/h\)), and sigma_r
(\(\mu m^3/h\))
a numeric value representing the average cell cycle time (\(h\))
a numeric value representing the variability in the
average cell cycle time t
(\(h\))
a numeric value representing the (vector of) volumes (\(\mu m^3\)) at which the model is to be evaluated
A numeric vector representing a cell volume (\(\mu m^3\)) distribution.
