litterfitter: Fits a Collection of Curves to Single-Cohort Decomposition Data

Fit different model forms to single-cohort litter decomposition data (mass remaining through time) using likelihood-based estimation. Models span simple empirical to process-motivated forms with differing numbers of free parameters. Provides parameter estimates, uncertainty, and tools for model comparison/selection. Based on Cornwell & Weedon (2013) <doi:10.1111/2041-210X.12138>.
