\usage{
  gompertz(x, mu, l, z0, zmax)
}
\arguments{
  \item{x}{\code{numeric} vector: time points for which
  log(OD) must be computed}

  \item{mu}{\code{numeric} scalar: maximal growth rate
  parameter}

  \item{l}{\code{numeric} scalar: time lag parameter}

  \item{z0}{\code{numeric} scalar: minimal log(OD)
  parameter}

  \item{zmax}{\code{numeric} scalar: maximal log(OD)
  parameter}
}
\value{
  \code{numeric} vector: log(OD) for the time points given
  in \code{x}
}
