Logistic Model
The Logistic Model is a mathematical representation used to describe the growth of populations or the spread of diseases. It is characterized by an S-shaped curve, which illustrates how a population grows rapidly at first, then slows as it approaches a maximum limit, known as the carrying capacity. This model is particularly useful in fields like ecology and epidemiology.
In the context of epidemiology, the Logistic Model helps predict how a disease, such as COVID-19, spreads over time. By analyzing factors like transmission rates and population density, researchers can estimate the number of infected individuals and the potential impact of interventions, aiding in public health planning and response.
