MARTINEZ, C. A; RODRIGUEZ, A. P; JIMENEZ, A y MANRIQUE, C. MATHEMATICAL DESCRIPTION OF THE GOMPERTZ FUNCTION APPLIED TO ANIMAL'S GROWTH. Rev. Med. Vet. Zoot. [online]. 2010, vol.57, n.1, pp.76-80. ISSN 0120-2952.
Since its appearing in 1825, the sigmoideal curve proposed by Benjamin Gompertz has been applied in different fields. In animal sciences it is frequently used to describe the individual´s growth. The present work shows a mathematical analysis of the function and the construction of some of the parameters obtained from it.
