  Linear Model'

abstract: Seed germinates through the physical process of water uptake by dry seed
  driven by the difference in water potential between the seed and the water. There
  exists seed-to-seed variability in the base seed water potential. Hence, there is
  a need for a distribution such that a viable seed with its base seed water potential
  germinates if and only if the soil water potential is more than the base seed water
  potential. This package estimates the stress tolerance and uniformity parameters
  of the seed lot for germination under various temperatures by using the hydro-time
  model of counts of germinated seeds under various water potentials. The distribution
  of base seed water potential has been considered to follow Normal, Logistic and
  Extreme value distribution. The estimated proportion of germinated seeds along with
  the estimates of stress and uniformity parameters are obtained using a generalised
  linear model. The significance test of the above parameters for within and between
  temperatures is also performed in the analysis. Details can be found in Kebreab
  and Murdoch (1999) <https://doi.org/10.1093/jxb/50.334.655> and Bradford (2002)
