Logistic functions :
When we started to model biological behaviors, we realised very soon that we were going to need a function that simulates a non-exponential evolution, that would include a simple speed control and a maximum value. A smooth step function.
Such functions, named logistic functions were introduced around 1840 by M. Verhulst.
These functions looked perfect, but we needed more control : we needed to set a starting value and a precision.
Parameters:
- Q : Magnitude.
lim(g)=Q - d : Offset.
- p : Precision.
g(d)=Q*p - k : Efficiency.
