Dataset Name: Rat42 (Rat42.dat)
File Format: ASCII
Starting Values (lines 41 to 43)
Certified Values (lines 41 to 48)
Data (lines 61 to 69)
Procedure: Nonlinear Least Squares Regression
Description: This model and data are an example of fitting
sigmoidal growth curves taken from Ratkowsky (1983).
The response variable is pasture yield, and the
predictor variable is growing time.
