Extraction of the division and mortality probability functions from simulated sigmoid growth data with small scatter. (Top) Fit of the four- and five-parameter versions of equation 16; (middle and bottom) corresponding probability functions calculated with the regression parameters (solid lines) and those used to create the data (dashed lines). Notice the similarity between the division and mortality probability functions estimated by the four- and five-parameter deterministic models (equations 15 and 16, respectively). The parameters for the shown data points’ generation and the retrieved parameters are listed in Table 1.
