Janisch I model for fitting thermal performance curves
Value
a numeric vector of rate values based on the temperatures and parameter values provided to the function
Details
Equation: $$rate = \frac{1}{\frac{m}{2} \cdot \left[a^{T-T_{\text{opt}}}+a^{-(T-T_{\text{opt}})}\right]}$$
Start values in get_start_vals are derived from the data or sensible values from the literature.
Limits in get_lower_lims and get_upper_lims are based on extreme values that are unlikely to occur in ecological settings.
