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 ...

A reparametrization of the two-parameter logistic growth function is given which, for independent homoscedastic normally distributed error terms, yields maximum ...

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 ...

The slope of the curve at any given time is the intrinsic rate of population growth. As growth rate is a function of both N and K, growth slows as density of the population approaches carrying ...
