title: 'ltvlms: Linear Time-Variant Logistic Models with a Shape Parameter'
version: 0.1.0
abstract: Evaluates and fits the Linear Time-Variant Logistic Model with Shape Parameter
  (LTVLMS) for dynamic growth processes. The model combines a linearly time-varying
  growth rate with a shape parameter for asymmetric trajectories and includes numerically
  stable prediction utilities. Methodological details are provided by Betrouni and
  Kernane (2026) "Linear Time-Varying Logistic Model With Shape Parameter for Dynamic
  Epidemic Modeling" <https://doi.org/10.1155/jama/4928447>.
