THE logistic curve is often used in teaching ecology as a first description of growth of an animal population. For many reasons, frequency related to age structure and time-lag effects, it does ...

The model is a logistic growth curve for the population of the United States. The data is the population in millions recorded at ten year intervals starting in 1790 and ending in 1990. For an ...

A variable undergoing logistic growth initially grows exponentially. After some time, the rate of growth decreases and the function levels off, forming a sigmoid, or s-shaped curve. For example ...

The S curve, a mathematical model also known as the logistic curve, describes the growth of one variable in terms of another variable over time.

The mathematical model of M.K. Hubbert successfully predicted the peak of oil production in the US even though the logistic growth curve on which it is based cannot account for the physical ...
