#Using rcode to model exponential population growth series
Series of data sets organized in a data frame. The package contains methods to fit single data sets or complete Smooth.spline, similar to the package grofit (Kahm et al. The currently implemented method uses function

Several powerful smoothing methods, that can leveraged for this purpose. Nonparametric growthrate estimation by using smoothers.The ``growth rates made easy method’’ of Hall et Fitting of linear models to the period of exponential growth using.Models are then solved with package `deSolve’ (Soetaert, Petzoldt, and Setzer 2010). To use numerically integrated systems of differential equation. Or analytical solutions of differential equations) it is also possible Growth models given in closed form (i.e. empirical regression equations Package FME (Flexible Modelling Environment) of Soetaert and Petzoldt (2010).

Parametric model fitting is done by using Nonlinear fitting of parametric growth models like the logistic or.The package includes three types of methods:
