A Response Curve is a mathematical formula that converts an input value into an output value. It's comprised of a curve type and 4 variables.

== Components ==
=== Curve Types ===

The curve types are:
* Linear
* Polynomial
* Logistic
* Logit
* Normal (for a normal distribution)
* Sine

=== Variables ===

The 4 variables are, m, k, b, and c change their meanings slightly depending on the curve type.

For Linear and Polynomial types, they represent what we are used to seeing in the ''y = mx + b'' formula:
* m = slope (positive numbers for up, negative for down)
* k = exponent (1 = linear)
* b = y-intercept
* c = x-intercept

For Logistic curves, they are:
* m = slope of line in middle
* k = Vertical size and direction of curve (positive numbers for up, negative for down)
* b = moves line vertically from its starting point
* c = moves line horizontally from its starting point

For Normal curves, they are:
* m = width of the "bump" of the curve. Roughly equivalent to changing the standard deviation.
* k = height of the "bump"
* b = moves line vertically from its starting point
* c = moves line horizontally from its starting point

== Code ==
The data is held in the very simple ResponseCurve class but the calculations are performed in the Consideration class in '''Consideration::GetConsiderationValue'''.
