Table 1.

Growth model in the absence of control intervention ($r=1$): $P\left(t\right)=e^c{e}^{\alpha t}$, where $t=1,2,\dots ,30,e^c\sim N(1.1,0.01)$, $\alpha \sim N\left({\alpha }_0,0.03\right)$, and ${\alpha }_0\in \left\{0.1,0.2,0.3\right\}$.

Growth rate, ${\alpha }_0$	Deceleration of growth parameter, $r$	Number of Benford cases
0.1	1	9,681 (96.81%)
0.2	1	10,000 (100.00%)
0.3	1	9,890 (98.90%)
