#' Hockey-Stick kinetics #' #' Function describing two exponential decline functions with a break point #' between them. #' #' @param t Time. #' @param parent.0 Starting value for the response variable at time zero. #' @param k1 First kinetic constant. #' @param k2 Second kinetic constant. #' @param tb Break point. Before this time, exponential decline according to #' \code{k1} is calculated, after this time, exponential decline proceeds #' according to \code{k2}. #' @return The value of the response variable at time \code{t}. #' @references FOCUS (2006) \dQuote{Guidance Document on Estimating Persistence #' and Degradation Kinetics from Environmental Fate Studies on Pesticides in #' EU Registration} Report of the FOCUS Work Group on Degradation Kinetics, #' EC Document Reference Sanco/10058/2005 version 2.0, 434 pp, #' \url{http://esdac.jrc.ec.europa.eu/projects/degradation-kinetics} #' @examples #' #' plot(function(x) HS.solution(x, 100, 2, 0.3, 0.5), 0, 2, ylim=c(0,100)) #' #' @export HS.solution <- function(t, parent.0, k1, k2, tb) { parent = ifelse(t <= tb, parent.0 * exp(-k1 * t), parent.0 * exp(-k1 * tb) * exp(-k2 * (t - tb))) }
