On the logistic law of growth and its empirical verifications in biology
W. Feller. Acta Biotheoretica, 5 (2):
51--66(June 1940)
Abstract
Concerns the fitting of the logistic curve to data; and demonstrates that a good fit does not imply the mechanism is logistic, by fitting other S-shaped curves, often better.
