A Simple Selection Test Between the Gompertz and Logistic Growth Models
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper proposes a simple model selection test between the Gompertz and the Logistic growth models based on parameter significance testing in a comprehensive linear regression. Simulations studies are provided to show the accuracy of the method. Two real-data examples are also provided to illustrate the implementation of the proposed method in practice.

Evaluation of Models to Describe Temporal Growth in Local Chickens of Ghana
The logistic, Gompertz, Richards and asymmetric logistic growth curve models were fitted to body weight data of local Ghanaian chickens and French SASSO T44 chickens. All four growth models provided good fit for each sex by genotype growth data with R2 values ranging from 86.7% to 96.7%. The rate constant parameter, k, ranged between 0.137 and 0.271 and were significantly different from zero fo...

Native poultry is a valuable genetic source with high resistance against diseases providing an important subject for breeding programs. The non-linear mathematical modeling of the growth pattern may partly explain the relationship between requirements and body weight to precise feeding that plays a vital role in the animal enterprises. A study was conducted to compare five non-linear models inc...

The objective of this study was to select the best model among five non-linear growth functions, i.e., Brody, Gompertz, Logistic, Von Bertalanffy and Negative exponential for describing the growth curve in Markhoz goat. The data included 5557 body weight records of goats from birth to yearling which were collected during 2006 to 2013 at Sanandaj Research Station. Growth curve parameters (A, B, ...
متن کاملAn Evaluation of the Extended Logistic, Simple Logistic, and Gompertz Models for Forecasting Short Lifecycle Products and Services
Many successful technology forecasting models have been developed but little research has explored the relationship between sample set size and forecast prediction accuracy. This research studies the forecast accuracy of large and small data sets using the simple logisticl, Gompertz, and the extended logistic models. The performance of the models were evaluated using the mean absolute deviation...
