Demography model

[vmiropina]

Hello,

I would like to know if there is a way to add arbitrary demography.
For example, instead of exponential growth I would like to have logistic or Gompertz or this type of functions.
Is that possible ?

Hi @vmiropina 👋

This is a great question! In principle these types of population growth functions could be accommodated, but they aren't implemented in msprime. It should just be a case of adding some extra parameters and implementing the required functions here, but it would be a significant project to actually make the changes.
