First Derivative of the Gompertz Model

$$\frac{dy}{dx} = b\,(d - a)\,v\,\exp(-v) \quad\text{where } v = \exp(-b(x - c))$$

Usage

dydx_gompertz4(x, a, b, c, d)

Arguments

x

Numeric vector. Independent variable (typically log10-concentration).

a

Numeric scalar. Lower asymptote (baseline response).

b

Numeric scalar. Scale parameter (\(b > 0\)); controls steepness.

c

Numeric scalar. Inflection-point location on the x-axis.

d

Numeric scalar. Upper asymptote (saturation response).

Value

Numeric vector of dy/dx values.
