Abstract:
The S-shape curve function with high degree of freedom is proposed based on the analysis of the basic characteristics of the Logistic function, and the S-shape curve function is y=A_2+\fracA_1-A_21+\left(\fracx-x_0\Delta x_1\right)^p_1+\left(\fracx-x_0\Delta x_2\right)^p_2. The characteristic parameters of the function are extreme values of
A1 and
A2, and the location of extreme value
A1 is
x0. The shape modulatory parameters of function are Δ
x1,
p1, Δ
x2 and
p2. The conditions assuring the S shape of the function’s curve are
A1≠
A2, Δ
x1>0, Δ
x2>0,
p1>1 and
p2>1. The functions of the first derivative (the slope of the tangent), the slope of the normal and the second derivative of the modulatory Logistic function are derived.
