pymc_marketing.mmm.utils.find_sigmoid_inflection_point(alpha, lam)[source]#

Find the inflection point of the extended sigmoid function.

The inflection point of a function is the point where the function changes its curvature, i.e., it changes from being concave up to concave down, or vice versa. For the sigmoid function, this is the point where the function has its maximum rate of growth.

Parameters:
alphafloat

The asymptotic maximum or ceiling value of the sigmoid function.

lamfloat

The parameter that affects how quickly the function approaches its upper and lower asymptotes.

Returns:
tuple

The x and y coordinates of the inflection point.
