What is the purpose of having a government? Is it to regulate what people do‚ to protect its citizens‚ or to maintain a stable economy? Isn’t it the government’s responsibility to protect the citizens under its rule? Isn’t it the reason most governments are established? Many governments offer some form of program to protect

The executive branch is the branch that oversees healthcare matters with the president as the “CEO”.

With successive groups of consumers adopting the new technology (shown in blue)‚ its market share (yellow) will eventually reach the saturation level.

The original diffusion research was done as early as 1903 by the French sociologist Gabriel Tarde who plotted the original S-shaped diffusion curve. Tardes’ 1903 S-shaped curve is of current importance because "most innovations have an S-shaped rate of adoption" (Rogers‚ 1995).

This technical note is a quick introduction to the use of diffusion models in forecasting. We use diffusion models in cases where an innovation diffuses through a population. In this note we focus on the simplest diffusion model: the logistic model. This model produces the familiar “S” curve in which a period of rapid acceleration is followed by deceleration and‚ finally
