Sorry, I need to apologize. My statement that "In general, linear models work well for biological growth curves with small to medium sized data", may not be correct. Also, I read through you code too quickly, my bad... If you want to set weights (not sure if that's a good idea or not here), I'd r

I conducted an experiment where earthworms were subjected to two treatments, with and without herbicide in the soil. Biomass measurements were taken every 12 days for 398 days and the biomass growth curves as a function of time were plotted. There was clearly a non-linear growth pattern such th
