Extends logistic4() with an asymmetry parameter \(g\): $$y = a + \frac{d - a}{\bigl(1 + \exp\!\bigl(-\frac{x - c}{b}\bigr)\bigr)^g}$$

Usage

logistic5(x, a, b, c, d, g)

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).

g

Numeric scalar. Asymmetry parameter (\(g > 0\)).

Value

Numeric vector of predicted response values.

Details

When \(g = 1\) this reduces to logistic4(). \(g > 1\) skews toward the upper asymptote; \(0 < g < 1\) skews toward the lower asymptote.
