We now prefer to use generic methods from the package [**ggplot2**](https://ggplot2.tidyverse.org/) and plot the fitted curve. This allows users the ability to more easily customize their figures. ```{r} library(ggplot2) b = coef(fit) df_predict = data.frame(Qabs = seq(0, 0.84 * 1500, length.out = 100)) |> mutate( A = marshall_biscoe_1980( Q_abs = Qabs, k_sat = b["k_sat"], b["phi_J"], b["theta_J"] ) - b["Rd"] ) ggplot(mapping = aes(Qabs, A)) + geom_line(data = df_predict) + geom_point(data = filter(dat, group == 600)) + labs( x = expression("Irradiance (" * mu * mol ~ m^{-2} ~ s^{-1} * ")"), y = expression(A[net] ~ "(" * mu * mol ~ m^{-2} ~ s^{-1} * ")") ) + theme_bw() ``` ## Fit multiple curves with **photosynthesis** and **purrr** In the previous version, we used `fit_many()` to fit many light-response curves simultaneously. We now prefer to use generic methods from the package [**purrr**](https://purrr.tidyverse.org/) that are already pretty good. ```{r} library(purrr) fits = dat |> split(~ group) |> map(fit_photosynthesis, .photo_fun = "aq_response", .vars = list(.A = A, .Q = Qabs)) ## Estimated parameters: fits |> map(coef) |> map(t) |> map(as.data.frame) |> imap_dfr(~ mutate(.x, CO2_s = .y)) ``` ## Fit Bayesian light-response curves with **brms** and *Stan* Traditional model fitting use a nonlinear least-squares approach, but Bayesian methods have some advantages, especially with more complex data sets. We added an option to fit a single Bayesian light-response curve using the amazing [**brms**](https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=brms) package which fits models in [*Stan*](https://mc-stan.org/). We have not implemented more complex approaches (e.g. multilevel light-response models) because once you are doing that, it's probably easier to code the model directly into **brms** functions. Hopefully this code can get you started though. We have not run the example below, but copy-and-paste into your *R* Console to try. ```{r, eval = FALSE} fit = fit_photosynthesis( .data = filter(dat, group == 600), .photo_fun = "aq_response", .vars = list(.A = A, .Q = Qabs), .method = "brms", brm_options = list(chains = 1) ) # The 'fit' object inherits class 'brmsfit' and many methods can be used summary(fit) ``` ## Deprecated version (**photosynthesis** <= 2.1.1) The `fit_aq_response()` function is the original version, but we are no longer updating it and may phase it out of future releases. Use `fit_photosynthesisi(..., .photo_fun = 'aq_response')` instead. ```{r, message = FALSE} library(dplyr) library(photosynthesis) # Read in your data dat = system.file("extdata", "A_Ci_Q_data_1.csv", package = "photosynthesis") |> read.csv() |> # Set grouping variable mutate(group = round(CO2_s, digits = 0)) |> # For this example, round sequentially due to CO2_s setpoints mutate(group = as.factor(round(group, digits = -1))) |> rename(A_net = A, PPFD = Qin) # To fit one AQ curve fit = fit_aq_response(filter(dat, group == 600)) # Print model summary summary(fit[[1]]) # Print fitted parameters fit[[2]] # Print graph fit[[3]] # Fit many curves fits = fit_many( data = dat, funct = fit_aq_response, group = "group", progress = FALSE ) # Look at model summary for a given fit # First set of double parentheses selects an individual group value # Second set selects an element of the sublist summary(fits[[3]][[1]]) # Print the parameters fits[[2]][[2]] # Print the graph fits[[3]][[3]] #Compile graphs into a list for plotting fits_graphs = compile_data(fits, list_element = 3) # Print graphs to jpeg # print_graphs(data = fits_graphs, path = tempdir(), output_type = "jpeg") #Compile parameters into data.frame for analysis fits_pars = compile_data(fits, output_type = "dataframe", list_element = 2) ``` # References Marshall B, Biscoe P. 1980.
