Cool. Maybe fit a logistic function instead of an exponential, though :)

- lkbm 7y agoHow do you do that if the growth rate hasn't started to slow yet?
- chestervonwinch 7y agoleast squares with a fixed population value?
- forkexec 7y agoIt's called a semi-log plot. X is linear time, Y is log population count. The slope of exponential-like acceleration phase indicates the growth rate. PS: this type of data is much better modeled by relatively simple ordinary differential equations because the rate of change of a communicable disease is proportional to the number infected.
