In both cases, there are two functions, one for each phase, with inflection and stability points. However, when they are summed, the result is a new function and the points of inflection and stability are different from those obtained from using each function individually. A method to determine these points in a diphasic logistics sum of functions is suggested and the results obtained from fitting the models to eucalyptus growth data showed a better fit of the logistic diphasic sum as compared with segmented regression and monophasic logistic models.215-220engNonlinear modelsSegmented regressionSum of logisticsInflection and stability points of diphasic logistic analysis of growthArtigo10.1590/0103-9016-2014-0212S0103-90162015000300215WOS:000357631600004Acesso abertoS0103-90162015000300215.pdf411437672187315665078582038994155493452207047677
