The United States Census, conducted every 10 years, gives data on the United States population, that can be modeled with the exponential, logistic, or Gompertz functions. Analysis of the per-unit population growth leads to an understanding of the assumptions underlying each model.Parameters in the exponential and logistic models can be estimated from per-unit population growth calculated from the data.Parameters for all three models can also be estimated by nonlinear least squares curve fitting,…
