Hubbert Linearizationとは 意味・読み方・使い方

The Hubbert Linearization is a way to plot production data to estimate two important parameters of a Hubbert curve; the logistic growth rate and the quantity of the resource that will be ultimately recovered. The Hubbert curve is the first derivative of a Logistic function, which has been used in modeling depletion of crude oil, predicting the Hubbert peak, population growth predictions and the depletion of finite mineral resources. The technique was introduced by Marion King Hubbert in his 1982 review paper . The geologist Kenneth S. Deffeyes has recently applied this technique to make a prediction about the peak production of conventional oil .
