Pasture Regrowth after Grazing

Keywords: nonlinear regression, growth curve


Description

The yield of pasture regrowth was measured together with the number of days since last grazing. The measurements were done on different experimental units so it is reasonable to assume the errors independent.


Variable Description

Days Days since last grazing
Yield Yield of pasture

Analysis

The data are well fitted by a Weibull growth curve: Yield = a - b exp[ -exp{ c + d log(Days) }].
