Constructor Detail

Logistic

public Logistic(double k,
                double m,
                double b,
                double q,
                double a,
                double n)
         throws NotStrictlyPositiveException

Parameters:

k - If b > 0, value of the function for x going towards +∞. If b < 0, value of the function for x going towards -∞.

m - Abscissa of maximum growth.

b - Growth rate.

q - Parameter that affects the position of the curve along the ordinate axis.

a - If b > 0, value of the function for x going towards -∞. If b < 0, value of the function for x going towards +∞.

n - Parameter that affects near which asymptote the maximum growth occurs.

Throws:

NotStrictlyPositiveException - if n <= 0.

Method Detail

value

public double value(double x)

Compute the value of the function.

Specified by:

value in interface UnivariateFunction

Parameters:

x - Point at which the function value should be computed.

Returns:

the value of the function.

value

public DerivativeStructure value(DerivativeStructure t)

Simple mathematical function.

UnivariateDifferentiableFunction classes compute both the value and the first derivative of the function.

Specified by:

value in interface UnivariateDifferentiableFunction

Parameters:

t - function input value

Returns:

function result
