Actually, after thinking about this, what I want to do is to fit a curve (Weibull and LogLogistic) to the first 9 data points in the series. The numbers represent percent of development, and I don't "trust" the 1.000 point, so I want to fit these curves to get 2 estimates of the tail, both a thick and a thin. I want to be able to extrapolate percentage developed beyond 9 periods of development.
