Theta-logistic comparison

The following figure:

Is produced by this code:

## closed-form solution for theta-logistic
tlogfun = function(t,theta=1.1,n0=0.1,r=1,K=1) {
    (K^(-theta)+(n0^(-theta)-K^(-theta))*exp(-r*theta*t))^(-1/theta)
}

## theta-logistic derivative function, using with() trick
##   to get variable and parameter names
tlderiv = function(time,y,parms) {
    L <- c(as.list(y),as.list(parms))
    gr <- with(L,r*n*(1-(n/K)^theta))
    list(gr,NULL)
}

## numeric solution using LSODA from the odesolve package
tlogderiv = function(t,theta=1.1,n0=0.1,r=1,K=1) {
    L = lsoda(y=c(n=n0),times=t,func=tlderiv,
      parms=c(r=r,K=K,theta=theta))
    L[,"n"]
}

tvec = seq(0,10,by=0.2)                 ## times for solution
## calculate closed-form solutions for each theta

## calculate numeric solutions for each theta

## doing clever stuff with colors -- sequences
