WIMの構築アルゴリズムにおける発育学的検証 : 第3報 logistic関数との比較論議

Abstract

It has been mathematically verified that the WIM (Wavelet Interpolation Method) is superior to logistic function F(x) in regard to describing the given data. However, the WIM has not been compared with logistic function in meaning of growth and development study. This paper is tried to verify the constructive algorithm of the WIM by comparison between wavelet and logistic function in biological meaning. The algorithm of logistic function is mathematically explained and applied to the longitudinal growth data from 6 to 17 in height of one boys. The first derivative curve derived by logistic function and wavelet interpolations which were applied to the growth data are compared between the both fitting methods. The advantages of the WIM are derived from the discussion in regard to the comparison.
