Gompertz versus Weibull, semilog versus log-log plot

Gompertz m = R exp(Gt)
    so, ln(m) = Gt  semi-log is linear.

Weibull     m = A t^(B)
   so, ln(m) = lnA + B ln(t)   log-log is linear.

Because Weibull takes an extra log-transformation, it 'suppresses' nosies in the data, therefore naturally fits bettern than Gomeprtz model.
