Logistic growth is exponential with an asymptotic limit (α). At the inflection point (δ, ½α), the rate constant is determined by the slope of the tangent line (β). The duration of growth is defined here as the time needed to grow from 10% to 90% of α. Growth velocity is the first derivative of the logistic growth curve, and the peak velocity is reached at time=δ.
