Excel Solver Demo: Fitting Data to Logistic Growth Model -- AIDS Deaths

Показать описание
In this video we look at using Microsoft Excel's Solver Add-In to fit data (AIDS deaths 1982-1992) to a Logistic Growth Model. We plot the data along with the Logistic Growth Model. We start by adjusting the fitting parameters (the maximum value, the half-way position, and the growth rate) by hand. Then we calculate the sum of the square deviations and use Solver to minimize it by varying the fitting parameters.

What an incredibly nuanced, informative and specific video. Thank you so much for your time and effort. I am genuinely so relieved to having found a solution to my problem. You made my day, and I hope you continue your time on YouTube!

Thank you - I was wondering if this could be done in Excel. Your video is exactly what I was looking for - very clearly presented and understandable too. I first watched and added the solver to my excel, and then went back to the start of the video and followed through, to fit my own data (chick/en growth!). It worked! Much appreciated.

Can you compare fits (other than visually), for significant differences?
