\title{GCAT: Growth Curve Analysis Tool}
\description{
Mathematical modeling and parameter estimation of high volume microbial growth data.
}
\details{
GCAT input is in .csv format.  GCAT analysis is accessed using \code{\link{gcat.analysis.main}}

 GCAT utilizes the \code{\link[stats]{nls}} function in the R stats package to fit logistic, Gompertz and Richards models to growth curve
 data. Best model is selected automatically.  Alternatively, the user may choose LOESS local regression fits, implemented using
 \code{\link[stats]{loess}} function in the R stats package

 Internally, the data are stored in an array of \linkS4class{well} objects
