Since growth models
has generally upper horizontal asymptote, they do not have a maximum point. We
wonder about after which point growth can be considered constant, that is,
after which point the curve of the growth function is too close to its
asymptote. That point is called maximum deceleration point. After this point
the deceleration is very slow and the second derivative of the growth function
goes to zero as time tends to infinity. After this point it is considered that
the amount of the growth is quite small. Moreover, we wonder about which point
is an absolute acceleration point so that before that point acceleration is
very slow and after that point actual acceleration starts. So we could say that
after this point actual growth starts. In this study, the logistic growth model
was used to investigate these points, asymptotic deceleration and absolute
acceleration points in addition to the other critical and important points such
as inflection point, maximum acceleration point, maximum deceleration point.
The graphs of the logistic growth model which show all these points mentioned
above are also given by using a data set.
