Abstract: | We present a smooth function that can be used as regression curve for modeling growth phenomena requiring an increasing curvilinear concave asymptote. This model is obtained as the product of a concave asymptotic curve and the exponential model. In addition to its increasing character with a curvilinear asymptote, including horizontal or linear increasing asymptote, the resulting model provides curves with a single inflection point. Numerical examples are presented. |
