This, somewhat questionably, fits the polynomial model and the
exponential model, and then chooses the one with the best R^2. However,
no matter how statistically valid this is, it works reasonably in
practice.
Slow growing things sometimes get classified as 1.0^n or 1.1^n, but
these are either spurious or not relevant, and so a similar thresholding
to the polynomial fit is used.
