A Note on the Schnute Growth Model
Mathematical models of growth have been developed a long period of time. Estimating the lag time in the growth process is a practically important problem. Any sigmoidal function can be good illustration for the concept of lag time. The Schnute growth model is described by free parameters, each contributing to the characteristics of the curve: an initial lag or period of slow growth; a period of rapid exponential growth; a period of reduced growth rate. In this note we provide estimates for the one sided Hausdorff approximation of the step function by sigmoidal Schnute function lag new t Numerical examples, illustrating our results are given, too.
