  • Nguimkeu, Pierre

Abstract

This paper proposes a simple model selection test between the Gompertz and the Logistic growth models based on parameter significance testing in a comprehensive linear regression. Simulations studies are provided to show the accuracy of the method. Two real-data examples are also provided to illustrate the implementation of the proposed method in practice.
