Introduction
In this paper, we are going to discuss the logistic model of predicting the population and its historical applications on the size of the US population. The population of the United States is the total number of people living in the United States with US citizenship. Population projection is the estimation of the future size of the population.
- Background of Population Section I will mention the official source and relating background about the size of the US population.
- Importance of population projection Section II will address why population projection is important.
- Before logistic model Section III will briefly go over exponential population model which had great influence on the invention of the logistic population model.
- Logistic Models Section IV will focus on the logistic model and its derivations.
- Failure of the models Section V will discuss some historical application of the logistic model.
- Reference Section VI includes citations.
