Fitting Predictive Microbiology Models // Provides predictive microbiology model functions and convenience wrappers for fitting primary growth, microbial inactivation, dynamic, omnibus, and cardinal parameter models to experimental data using nonlinear least squares and related mixed-effects or time-varying workflows. Includes helper functions for extracting fitted values, calculating model diagnostics, and comparing fitted models. Implemented model families include those described by: Zwietering et al.
