Yujie Chen|Qining Guo|Tong Ding|Qihui Feng|Dingyue Liu


Introduction


In this paper, we are going to discuss the logistic model for 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.

Section I will mention the official source and related background of the US population size.

Section I. Background of Population

Section II will address why population projection is important.

Section II. Importance of Population Projection

Section III will briefly go over exponential population model which used to have a great influence on the invention of the logistic population model.

Section III. Before Logistic Model

Section IV will focus on the logistic model and its derivations.

Section IV. Logistic Models

Section V will discuss some historical applications of the logistic model.

Section V. Failure of the Models

Section VI will provide some useful links for interested readers.

Section VI. Further Information

Section VII includes citations.

Section VII. Reference
