Title: Plant Stress Response Index Calculator
Version: 1.0.0
Description: Calculate Plant Stress Response Index (PSRI) from time-series germination data with optional radicle vigor integration. Built on the methodological foundation of the Osmotic Stress Response Index (OSRI) framework developed by Walne et al. (2020) <doi:10.1002/agg2.20087>. Provides clean, direct PSRI calculations suitable for agricultural research and statistical analysis. Note: This package implements methodology currently under peer review.

Calculate Plant Stress Response Index (PSRI)

Description

This function calculates the Plant Stress Response Index from time-series germination data with optional radicle vigor integration.

Usage

calculate_psri(
  germination_counts,
  time_points = c(3, 5, 7),
  total_seeds,
  species,
  radicle_summary = NULL,
  diseased_counts = NULL
)

Arguments

germination_counts

Numeric vector of cumulative germination counts at each time point (length 3 for days 3, 5, 7)

time_points

Numeric vector of time points in days (default: c(3, 5, 7))

total_seeds

Integer, total number of seeds in the replicate

species

Character string, species name for identification

radicle_summary

Optional list containing radicle data

diseased_counts

Optional numeric vector of diseased seed counts

Value

A list containing PSRI components and metrics

Examples

result <- calculate_psri(
  germination_counts = c(5, 8, 10),
  time_points = c(3, 5, 7),
  total_seeds = 15,
  species = 'corn'
)
print(result$PSRI)
