Function
Equation1)
Gompertz
yt=A⋅e−b⋅e−k⋅t
Von Bertalanffy
yt=A(1-b•e−k•t)3
Logistic
yt=A(1-b•e−k•t)−1
yt is the corresponding weight at time t; A, asymptotic live body weight; b, the log-function for the proportion of the asymptotic mature weight to be gain after birth; k, a constant scale that is proportional to the overall growth rate.
