Originally developed for growth modelling, it allows for more flexible S-shaped curves. The function is sometimes named Richards's curve after F. J. Richards , who proposed the general form for the family of models in 1959.
The example above is the simplest kind of contingency table, a table in which each variable has only two levels; this is called a 2 × 2 contingency table. In principle, any number of rows and columns may be used. There may also be more than two variables, but higher order contingency tables are difficult to represent visually.
Price's model (named after the physicist Derek J. de Solla Price) is a mathematical model for the growth of citation networks. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It was the first model which generalized the Simon model [ 3 ] to be used for networks, especially for growing networks.
The Bass diffusion model is used to estimate the size and growth rate of these social networks. The work by Christian Bauckhage and co-authors [ 10 ] shows that the Bass model provides a more pessimistic picture of the future than alternative model(s) such as the Weibull distribution and the shifted Gompertz distribution.
The dynamic lot-size model in inventory theory, is a generalization of the economic order quantity model that takes into account that demand for the product varies over time. The model was introduced by Harvey M. Wagner and Thomson M. Whitin in 1958.
The Gompertz curve or Gompertz function is a type of mathematical model for a time series, named after Benjamin Gompertz (1779–1865). It is a sigmoid function which describes growth as being slowest at the start and end of a given time period.
These range from simple overwrites (Type 1) to creating new rows for each change (Type 2), adding new attributes (Type 3), maintaining separate history tables (Type 4), or employing hybrid approaches (Type 6 and 7). Type 0 is available to model an attribute as not really changing at all.
A Calvo contract is the name given in macroeconomics to the pricing model that when a firm sets a nominal price there is a constant probability that a firm might be able to reset its price which is independent of the time since the price was last reset. The model was first put forward by Guillermo Calvo in his 1983 article "Staggered Prices in ...
