\title{ Hockey-Stick kinetics }
\description{
  Function describing two exponential decline functions with a break point
  between them.
}
\usage{
HS(t, parent.0, k1, k2, tb)
}
\arguments{
  \item{t}{ Time. }
  \item{parent.0}{ Starting value for the response variable at time zero. }
  \item{k1}{ First kinetic constant. }
  \item{k2}{ Second kinetic constant. }
  \item{tb}{ Break point. Before this time, exponential decline according
    to \code{k1} is calculated, after this time, exponential decline proceeds
    according to \code{k2}. }
}
\value{
  The value of the response variable at time \code{t}.
