I am trying to make predictions of future populations. As far as the logistic model you are right, I have researched and tried to work around it but it does not work. I have done as you suggested and used linear regression to find the line of best fit in polynomial. I got the following however I'm currently working on finding if this polynomial will be useful to find predictions of the population over a period of time. | |
