- Method / resource The modified Weibull model gave statistically better fits than the original model for all simulated disease progress data.
- Method / resource On wheat leaf rust data the modified Weibull model gave a statistically better fit than the original model.
- Method / resource Estimates of asymptotic parameter K were nearly identical to the actual disease maxima.
- Method / resource The modified Weibull model gave a statistically superior fit in most cases compared with logistic and Gompertz models.
