The Loglet Lab software: A tutorial

After a brief explanation of the installation of the Loglet Lab software pa ckage, this tutorial guides the user through several exercises in logistic analysis. Specifically, we illustrate how to fit single and multi-logistic curves to data, apply transformations on the component logistic model, use the Bootstrap method to compute the statistical error of our estimates, aci d apply the logistic substitution model to a system. Although this article touches upon some basic guidelines for logistic analysis, its primary goal is to familiarize users with the operation of the software. At points where a more detailed description of logistic analysis might be helpful, we refe r to the accompanying primer titled "Logjstic Growth and Substitution: The Mathematics of the Loglet Lab Software."
