Abstract
Our model is formalized by the Differential Equation: (Logistic Regression)
The Logistic Regression (or the Logistic Model) is a model that is greatly practiced in the field of epidemics. In this case, we chose this model to figure out the relationship between GC content and RNAi efficiency. Instead of guessing a linear function between the two, the Logistic Model helps us to develop a better understanding of this critical parameter which isn't backed by scientific theories.
Assumptions
The model works under the below assumptions:
Births and natural deaths are neglected
The beetles cannot recover by itself or with the help of the leaves
Other factors do not change throughout the experiment
Parameters
| Parameters | Meaning |
| D(t) | Number of deaths |
| η | RNAi efficiency |
| α | GC content |
