The following describes the work flow for the analysis of dark adaptation data. The data were extracted from Figure 1 in Rushton’s paradox: rod dark adaptation after flash photolysis, E.N.Pugh Jr. 1975.
A ‘dark’ object can have up to 16 elements and no fewer than 2.
library(Dark)
tmp <- dark
names(tmp)## [1] "time" "thrs" "fit" "resid" "R2"
## [6] "Bootstrap" "weight" "valid" "Mod" "Pn"
## [11] "AIC" "data" "opt" "call" "val"The raw data are shown below
par(las=1, bty='n',mfrow=c(1,1))
XL <- expression(bold(Time~(min)))
YL <- expression(bold(Threshold~(LU)))
plot(tmp$time, tmp$thrs, xlab = XL, ylab=YL)
The function Start generates an array of possible parameter values, P, calculated from the data, which are then passed to ModelSelect.
set.seed(1234)
P <-Start(tmp, 2000)
head(P,3)The first three rows are shown below
## CT CC Tau S2 Alph S3 Beta
## [1,] -1.9305 0.2536 3.9765 -0.3899 2.5221 0.1306 32.5607
## [2,] -0.9662 0.4203 0.7632 -0.4064 6.9688 0.2074 32.9920
## [3,] -0.9909 1.3296 0.9057 -0.1825 3.1220 0.0885 29.4212The data frame P is processed by ModelSelect, this finds the row of parameters that give the lowest sum of squared errors and calculates an AIC score. This is not calculated again.
MSC<-ModelSelect(tmp,P)
MSC## $AIC

## [4,] -1.97 1.40 1.623 -0.2279 8.74 0.1808 19.4Then the function BestFit optimises the model using the lowest AIC score to select the model and the best initial estimate of the parameters for that model.
tmp<-BestFit(tmp,MSC)A further function MultiStart ensures that the estimated parameter values are optimal by repeatedly optimising the model with starting locations in the vicinity of the initial estimate. Finally BootDark uses bootstrap methods to calculate confidence intervals for the parameter estimates.
tmp<-MultiStart(tmp,repeats = 25)
tmp<-BootDark(tmp,R = 500)The data and model are shown in the figure below; 
The final dark object with 15 elements:
