“…When formula 11 is applied, the IP calculated by the authors [15] is 19.4(=ln (1929.18)/0.39) ≈ 20 in year (i.e., 2016 − 1997 + 1). [15] This paper applies (1) the Microsoft Excel add-in of Solver [8,9] to parameter estimations of the model (Formula 7) with a bulk of data (2,2,2,7,4,8,12,15,21,38,34,35,60,87,109,178,267,410,648,765) from prior research targeting years 1997 to 2016 [15], and (2) uses Formula 11 to compute the inflection point. An example of IP determination using time-series data is displayed on the website once an integer number is an input in the box [31].…”
