phpp: Phenotypic Phase Plane Analysis

Description

Performs phenotypic phase plane analysis for a given metabolic model.

Usage

phpp(model, ctrlreact, rng = c(0, 0, 20, 20),
     numP = 50, setToZero = TRUE, redCosts = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

model

An object of class '>modelorg.

ctrlreact

An object of class '>reactId, character or integer. Specifies two control reactions.

rng

A numeric vector of length four, giving the lower and upper bounds of the control reactions. The first two values contain the lower bounds, the last two values the upper bounds. Default: c(0, 0, 20, 20)

numP

The number of points to analyse. Default: 50

setToZero

Logical: If the mathematical programming software returns a solution status which is not optimal, set the corresponding objective value to zero (see also optimizer). Default: TRUE.

redCosts

Logical: store reduced costs of the control variables. Default: FALSE.

…

Further arguments passed to optimizer.

Value

An object of class '>optsol_phpp.

Details

The two control reactions given in argument ctrlreact are treated as uptake reactions: reactions that transport metabolites into the metabolic network. That means, the optimizations are performed using abs(rng) * -1.
