logistic: Logistic growth model

In drodriguezperez/growthmodels: Nonlinear Growth Models

Description

Computes the Logistic growth model

y(t) = α/(1 + β * exp(-k * t))

Usage

logistic(t, alpha, beta, k)

logistic.inverse(x, alpha, beta, k)

Arguments

t	time
alpha	upper asymptote
beta	growth range
k	growth rate
x	size
