The mathematics underlying the Loglet Lab software package for loglet analysis describes the decomposition of growth and diusion into S-shaped logistic components, roughly analogous to wavelet analysis, popular for signal processing and compression.
Abstract
This article describes the mathematics underlying the Loglet Lab software package for loglet analysis. “Loglet analysis” refers to the decomposition of growth and diffusion into S-shaped logistic components, roughly analogous to wavelet analysis, popular for signal processing and compression. The term “loglet” joins “logistic” and “wavelet.” Loglet analysis comprises two models: the first is the component logistic model, in which autonomous systems exhibit logistic growth. The second is the logistic substitution model, which models the effects of competitions within a market. An appendix describes the current status of the software.

The Bi-logistic model is presented for the analysis of systems that experience two phases of logistic growth, either overlapping or sequentially, and is shown to be superior to the simple logistic model for representing many growth processes.

Tests of the medium developed have shown that the results obtained with it are uniform and can be reproduced in different batches of medium, and the factors controlling its spread were found to be the existence of a surface film of water on the agar.

It is shown here that the deviations are often associated with unusual intermittent events-wars, strikes, economic panics, etc-and that in many cases a few years after the event it can be abstracted as an instantaneous delta function impulse.

This tutorial guides the user through several exercises in logistic analysis, illustrating how to fit single and mult-logistic curves to data, apply transformations on the component logistic model, use the Bootstrap method to compute the statistical error of the estimates, and apply the logistic substitution model to a system.
