Statistical Ensemble Theory of Gompertz Growth Model

نویسنده

  • Takuya Yamano
چکیده

An ensemble formulation for the Gompertz growth function within the framework of statistical mechanics is presented, where the two growth parameters are assumed to be statistically distributed. The growth can be viewed as a self-referential process, which enables us to use the Bose-Einstein statistics picture. The analytical entropy expression pertain to the law can be obtained in terms of the growth velocity distribution as well as the Gompertz function itself for the whole process.

Growth of fishes, crustaceans and molluscs: estimation of the von Bertalanffy, Logistic, Gompertz and Richards curves and a new growth model

A total of 16 data sets on wild and cultivated fishes, crustaceans and molluscs were used to test and compare conventional growth curves (von Bertalanffy, Logistic, Gompertz and Richards) and a new growth model. Statistical properties for estimation of the models were evaluated and compared to determine suitability. The absolute value of the Hougaard measure of skewness of parameter estimates (...

Predictive modeling of biomass production by Chlorella vulgaris in a draft-tube airlift photobioreactor

The objective of this study was to investigate the growth rate of Chlorella vulgaris for CO2 biofixation and biomass production. Six mathematical growth models (Logistic, Gompertz, modified Gompertz, Baranyi, Morgan and Richards) were used to evaluate the biomass productivity in continuous processes and to predict the following parameters of cell growth: lag phase duration (λ), maximum specific...

Maximum life span predictions using the Gompertz tumour Growth model

Studies in the evolutionary biology of cancer research require good estimates of the intrinsic growth rate of the tumour coefficient. A Gompertzian model is a classical continuous model useful in describing population dynamics; in particular, it is a very efficient mathematical modelto describe tumour growth in humans and animals. The Gompertz survival model of a tumour growth is the interest o...
