m Originally the dew point was spelled as two words. In keeping with similar 2-word physical chemistry terms such as the melting point, triple point, etcetera, all instances of "dewpoint" in this article were split into two words.

The '''generalised logistic curve''' or '''function''', also known as '''Richards' curve''' is a widely used and flexible [[sigmoid function]] for growth modelling, extending the well-known [[logistic function]].
 
:<math>Y(t) = A + { K-A \over (1 + Q e^{-B(t - M)}) ^ {1 / \nu} }</math>
 
where ''Y'' = weight, height, size etc., and ''t'' = time.
 
It has six parameters:
*''A'': the lower asymptote;
*''K'': the upper asymptote. If ''A''=0 then ''K'' is called the carrying capacity;
*''B'': the growth rate;
*&nu;>0 : affects near which asymptote maximum growth occurs.  
*''Q'': depends on the value ''Y''(0)
*''M'': the time of maximum growth if ''Q''=&nu;
 
== Generalised logistic differential equation ==
A particular case of Richard's function is:
 
:<math>Y(t) =  { K \over (1 + Q e^{- \alpha \nu (t - t_0)}) ^ {1 / \nu} }</math>
 
which is the solution of the so-called Richard's differential equation (RDE):
 
:<math>Y^{\prime}(t) = \alpha  \left(1 - \left(\frac{Y}{K} \right)^{\nu} \right)Y </math>
 
with initial condition
 
:<math>Y(t_0) = Y_0 </math>
 
where
 
:<math>Q = -1 + \left(\frac {K}{Y_0} \right)^{\nu}</math>
 
provided that &nu; &gt; 0 and &alpha; &gt; 0.
 
 
The classical logistic differential equation is a particular case of the above equation, with &nu; =1, whereas the [[Gompertz curve]] can be recovered in the limit <math>\nu \rightarrow 0^+</math> provided that:
 
:<math>\alpha = O\left(\frac{1}{\nu}\right)</math>
 
In fact, for small &nu; it is
 
:<math>Y^{\prime}(t)  = Y r \frac{1-\exp\left(\nu \ln\left(\frac{Y}{K}\right) \right)}{\nu} \approx r Y \ln\left(\frac{Y}{K}\right) </math>
 
 
The RDE suits to model many growth phenomena, including the growth of tumours. Concerning its applications in oncology, its main biological features are similar to those of [[Logistic curve]] model.

When estimating parameters from data, it is often necessary to compute the partial derivatives of the parameters at a given data point ''t'' (see <ref name=fekedulegn1999parameter>{{cite journal|last=Fekedulegn|first=Desta|coauthors=Mairitin P.

\begin{align}
\frac{\partial Y}{\partial A} &= 1 - (1 + Qe^{-B(t-M)})^{-1/\nu}\\
\frac{\partial Y}{\partial K} &= (1 + Qe^{-B(t-M)})^{-1/\nu}\\
\frac{\partial Y}{\partial B} &= \frac{(K-A)(t-M)Qe^{-B(t-M)}}{\nu(1 + Qe^{-B(t-M)})^{\frac{1}{\nu}+1}}\\
\frac{\partial Y}{\partial \nu} &= \frac{(K-A)\ln(1 + Qe^{-B(t-M)})}{\nu^2(1 + Qe^{-B(t-M)})^{\frac{1}{\nu}}}\\
\frac{\partial Y}{\partial Q} &= -\frac{(K-A)e^{-B(t-M)}}{\nu(1 + Qe^{-B(t-M)})^{\frac{1}{\nu}+1}}\\
\frac{\partial Y}{\partial M} &= -\frac{(K-A)Be^{-B(t-M)}}{\nu(1 + Qe^{-B(t-M)})^{\frac{1}{\nu}+1}}
