Title: A simple function for the description of near-exponential decays: The stretched or compressed hyperbola
Abstract: The modeling of systems that exhibit near-exponential decay is most commonly done using a sum of exponentials or a stretched exponential. We note some drawbacks of these representations and present an alternative model, the stretched or compressed hyperbola, first described by E. Becquerel in the 1860s. This representation might be more helpful for interpolation, extrapolation, and classification of decays and requires only one additional parameter compared to simple exponential decay.
