A generalization of the common logistic function is developed, incorporating a non-unit saturation level, a non-zero intercept, and a non-symmetric shape. The dependence of the three generalized ...

Journal of the Royal Statistical Society. Series C (Applied Statistics) A discrete alternative to the logistic growth function is derived by forming the difference equation corresponding to the ...

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, an ...
