The determination of the growth rate is a important parameter. Indeed, the growth rate can be used to compare different individuals. There are several methods to compute the growth rate.
growth_rate(skw_t, skw_ini, date_t, date_ini = 0, method = c("exponential", "linear", "linear_std"))
| skw_t | The weight at time t |
|---|---|
| skw_ini | The weight at initial time |
| date_t | The number day at time t |
| date_ini | The number day at initial time |
| method | The method to be employed. See the description to know the different methods |
The growth rate
