The sigmoidal function relates the output of a neuron to the weighted input or net input (y) as follows;
Three monotonic growth models of sigmoidal function were examined: Weibull, Logistic, and Gompertz.
deltoidea cell suspension culture generally showed a sigmoidal growth curve throughout the 12 days of study period by the measurement of packed cell volume (PCV) (Figure 6).
The resulting curve is both monotonic and approaching a sigmoidal shape, providing evidence that the selected model was appropriate.
Our method generated fitted splines that were comfortingly similar in shape to the parametric logistic (sigmoidal function) models that we used to estimate maturation with berried and histological criteria.
Hydraulic VCs were fitted by the least square method based on a sigmoidal function:
The crown has a high, narrow cusp that is weakly sigmoidal and strongly inclined lingually.
Sigmoidal curves were fitted to the cumulative germination time course for the stratification interruption study using Microcal Origin (Microcal Software, Inc., Northampton, MA).
This thoroughness extends to the lower bounds on the sample complexity in terms of the Vapnik-Chervonenkis dimension and even to the bound on the Vapnik-Chervonenkis dimension of sigmoidal neural networks following Karpinski and Macintyre (1997).
Switching can produce a sigmoidal (type-III-like) functional response.
