  2. Logistic regression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logistic_regression

    In machine learning applications where logistic regression is used for binary classification, the MLE minimises the cross-entropy loss function. Logistic regression is an important machine learning algorithm. The goal is to model the probability of a random variable being 0 or 1 given experimental data.

  3. Logistic function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logistic_function

    A logistic function or logistic curve is a common S-shaped curve ( sigmoid curve) with the equation. where. , the value of the function's midpoint; , the supremum of the values of the function; , the logistic growth rate or steepness of the curve. [1] Standard logistic function where. For values of in the domain of real numbers from to , the S ...

  4. Logistic map - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logistic_map

    Logistic function, solution of the logistic map's continuous counterpart: the Logistic differential equation. Lyapunov stability#Definition for discrete-time systems; Malthusian growth model; Periodic points of complex quadratic mappings, of which the logistic map is a special case confined to the real line

  5. Malthusian growth model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malthusian_growth_model

    A Malthusian growth model, sometimes called a simple exponential growth model, is essentially exponential growth based on the idea of the function being proportional to the speed to which the function grows. The model is named after Thomas Robert Malthus, who wrote An Essay on the Principle of Population (1798), one of the earliest and most ...

  6. Generalised logistic function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generalised_logistic_function

    The generalized logistic function or curve is an extension of the logistic or sigmoid functions. Originally developed for growth modelling, it allows for more flexible S-shaped curves. The function is sometimes named Richards's curve after F. J. Richards, who proposed the general form for the family of models in 1959.

  7. Logistic distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logistic_distribution

    In probability theory and statistics, the logistic distribution is a continuous probability distribution. Its cumulative distribution function is the logistic function, which appears in logistic regression and feedforward neural networks. It resembles the normal distribution in shape but has heavier tails (higher kurtosis ).

  8. Bass diffusion model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bass_diffusion_model

    The Bass model has been widely used in forecasting, especially new products' sales forecasting and technology forecasting. Mathematically, the basic Bass diffusion is a Riccati equation with constant coefficients equivalent to Verhulst—Pearl Logistic growth. In 1969, Frank Bass published his paper on a new product growth model for consumer ...

  9. Carrying capacity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrying_capacity

    The logistic growth curve depicts how population growth rate and carrying capacity are inter-connected. As illustrated in the logistic growth curve model, when the population size is small, the population increases exponentially. However, as population size nears carrying capacity, the growth decreases and reaches zero at K.
