Abstract
SUMMARY The logistic process is a simple stochastic process often used to represent the spread of an epidemic. Some recent studies (Bailey, 1950; Haskey, 1954) provided information regarding the stochastic epidemic curve for this process. In this paper, we present much more extensive tables of this epidemic curve, and we note some potential uses for the logistic process in the behavioural sciences.

Using a neural circuit, suggested by H. D. Landahl in his theory of learning, a neurobiophysical interpretation of the above situation is outlined and Mathematical expressions are derived which describe the social behavior of an individual as a function of his age, social status, and some neuro biophysical parameters.
