Description:
AllCurves() runs multiple lactation curve models and extracts selection criteria for each model. This package summarises the most common lactation curve models from the last century and provides a tool for researchers to quickly decide on which model fits their data best to proceed with their analysis. Start parameters were optimized based on a dataset with 1.7 million Holstein-Friesian cows. If convergence fails, the start parameters need to be manually adjusted. The models included in the package are taken from: (1) Michaelis-Menten: Michaelis, L. and M.L. Menten (1913). (1a) Michaelis-Menten (Rook): Rook, A.J., J. France, and M.S. Dhanoa (1993). (1b) Michaelis-Menten + exponential (Rook): Rook, A.J., J. France, and M.S. Dhanoa (1993). (2) Brody (1923): Brody, S., A.C. Ragsdale, and C.W. Turner (1923). (3) Brody (1924): Brody, S., C.W. Tuner, and A.C. Ragsdale (1924). (4) Schumacher: Schumacher, F.X. (1939) in Thornley, J.H.M. and J. France (2007). (4a) Schumacher (Lopez et al. 2015): Lopez, S. J. France, N.E. Odongo, R.A. McBride, E. Kebreab, O. AlZahal, B.W. McBride, and J. Dijkstra (2015). (5) Parabolic exponential (Adediran): Adediran, S.A., D.A. Ratkowsky, D.J. Donaghy, and A.E.O. Malau-Aduli (2012). (6) Wood: Wood, P.D.P. (1967). (6a) Wood reparameterized (Dhanoa): Dhanoa, M.S. (1981). (6b) Wood non-linear (Cappio-Borlino): Cappio-Borlino, A., G. Pulina, and G. Rossi (1995). (7) Quadratic Polynomial (Dave): Dave, B.K. (1971) in Adediran, S.A., D.A. Ratkowsky, D.J. Donaghy, and A.E.O. Malau-Aduli (2012). (8) Cobby and Le Du (Vargas): Vargas, B., W.J. Koops, M.
