• A genetic evaluation of growth in sheep using random regression techniques (2002, methodology): “In part this is because the estimated values of the parameters of such functions are highly correlated (Cullis and McGilchrist, 1990; Lewis et al., 2002) although this is not necessarily so among the true parameter values.”
• Comparison of Mathematical Models for Describing the Growth of Baluchi Sheep (2014, methodology): “Lewis et al. (2002) chose the Gompertz function to analyze the growth curve in Suffolk sheep.”
• Determination of the best nonlinear function in order to estimate growth in Morkaraman and Awassi lambs (2004, background): “In contrast, the Gompertz function was appropriate for the growth of the great majority of Suffolk sheep (Lewis et al., 2002).”
