\title{Class \code{"breaksgrowth"}}
\description{
The class \code{"breaksgrowth"} contains the results of the breaks_growth() function. 
Use \code{summary(breaksgrowth)} for results summary.
}

\section{Objects from the Class}{
Objects can be created by the function \code{breaks_growth}.
}

\section{Slots}{
  \describe{

  \item{\code{t}:}{Object of class \code{numeric} Input time points data}
  \item{\code{y}:}{Object of class \code{numeric} Input infections data}
  \item{\code{config}:}{Object of class \code{list} Model fit configurations}
  }
}

\section{Methods}{
  \describe{
    \item{summary}{\code{signature(object = "breaksgrowth")}: Prints a summary of \code{breaksgrowth} objects}
    \item{plot}{\code{signature(x = "breaksgrowth")}: Plots the results of the breakpoint analysis }
    \item{print}{\code{signature(x = "breaksgrowth")}: Prints an \code{breaksgrowth} object; use \code{summary(breaksgrowth)} for results }
