@BryanKrause Hey ... any idea?

@b_jonas would this question be welcome here^ ?

@MoreAnonymous I don't know why you are pinging someone who has not asked or answered a question on this site.

I do not find your question on Math.SE coherent

It would need substantial improvement and added clarity to be acceptable at Biology.SE, not to mention a title and specific question that relate to biology

If you are deriving equations or choosing parameters from some source, you must reference that source and explain what you've done

@BryanKrause Hmm ... Both equations are albegrically equivalent it's simple mathematical reformulation ... I agree I dont have the best source of as a Youtube video

@MoreAnonymous It's not clear at all to me, a biologist whose job is almost entirely about using math to understand biology, what you are trying to accomplish here. Maybe back up a few steps and figure out what your goal is, how you're trying to accomplish it, and where you're stuck

Logistic functions definitely have a lot of purposes and interpretations

The logistics map equation is used to model population dynamics

I haven't seen a derivation of it ... So I decided to try my own hand

I am convinced my derivation is algebraicly equivalent

But what does probability mean in this case .... I'm uncertain

@MoreAnonymous To derive something you'll have to start with known assumptions. If you want to model population dynamics, you'll have to start with assumptions that make sense for the population you're modeling. For logistic population growth that usually involves an assumption of fixed reproduction and limited resources. If you're not starting there, I don't think anything you derive makes sense

@BryanKrause maybe your assumptions are a limiting case of mine or visa versa ?

But it's an interesting question imo

I don't think my assumptions are out of the world btw

@MoreAnonymous Your assumptions don't make any sense because they don't have anything to do with population growth

@BryanKrause I disagree ... But it would take me forever to explain my viewpoints ... Only recently my viewpoint of platonic skepticism has caught on :/ ... How does one usually drive this equation btw?

@MoreAnonymous google.com/search?q=derive+logistic+population+growth

@MoreAnonymous If it would take forever to explain your viewpoints then you're not really prepared to ask a useful question on Stack Exchange

I read your link ... It doesn't really tell where the assumptions come from... It sounds more like heuristically this would be a nice fit ... Which is a decent starting point ... Mine seems to be some kind of continuity of some kind of information

@BryanKrause Ill take this as your way to spit people into a studious spirit

*spur

Sorry stupid autocorrect

@MoreAnonymous There are lots of possible pages to choose from, I doubt you've gone through them all. But generally they're going to involve thinking about what the population change is at a moment in time and integrating from that

@MoreAnonymous I'd agree with that

Maybe the mathematicians will have more success with it in fluid mechanics

And then I'll have some rebuttal :p

@BryanKrause also I thought u wanted to share the first link
