Another growth update

It's been a very busy week with the result that while Neil was weighed again on Monday, I'm only now able to write a quick post about it.

Neil on Monday

His growth still fits an exponential model well, but the latest data point is slightly lower than the previous model suggested it would be. The overall time constant has also edged back up to 80 days because of this. A linear model also fits well and thus I've added it to the graph below.

It is, of course, inevitable that the rate of growth will slow soon so I'm going to devise a more complex s-shaped growth model once that starts happening. Luckily we should get another data point today as he's going for his six (and a bit) week check-up at his doctor.

The thin orange line is the linear growth trend
