Abstract
We are introducing two methods for revealing the true inflection point of data that contains or not error. The starting point is a set of geometrical properties that follow the existence of an inflection point p for a smooth function. These properties connect the concept of convexity/concavity before and after p respectively with three chords defined properly. Finally a set of experiments is presented for the class of sigmoid curves and for the third order polynomials.
