DFOP: Double First-Order in Parallel kinetics

Description

Function describing decline from a defined starting value using the sum of two exponential decline functions.

Usage

DFOP(t, parent.0, k1, k2, g)

Arguments

t

Time.

parent.0

Starting value for the response variable at time zero.

k1

First kinetic constant.

k2

Second kinetic constant.

g

Fraction of the starting value declining according to the first kinetic constant.

Value

The value of the response variable at time t.
