| SSmicmen {stats} | R Documentation | 
This selfStart model evaluates the Michaelis-Menten model and
its gradient.  It has an initial attribute that
will evaluate initial estimates of the parameters Vm and K
SSmicmen(input, Vm, K)
input | 
a numeric vector of values at which to evaluate the model. | 
Vm | 
a numeric parameter representing the maximum value of the response. | 
K | 
a numeric parameter representing the input value at
which half the maximum response is attained.  In the field of enzyme
kinetics this is called the Michaelis parameter. | 
a numeric vector of the same length as input.  It is the value of
the expression Vm*input/(K+input).  If both
the arguments Vm and K are
names of objects, the gradient matrix with respect to these names is
attached as an attribute named gradient.

## Alternative call using the subset argument
