Examples

Great package, works very well.
It could be useful to add some examples to the README.
Here's one I made for the logistic growth model:

You are right, examples in the README would be good.
Love the @interact, works very well for demoing stochastic processes. If I can find a way to handle
.ipynb files under version control then we could put some in an examples directory.

I'll add these two examples to the README now:

I won't add the stochastic logistic model for now, as it has the slight complication of an extinction time if N reaches 0. If it crosses N=0, the diffusion is undefined after that and the integration then produces NaN values which generate warning messages in the notebook.

.ipynb work in version control - they are just json files, and github renders them automatically.
you can diff them using nbconvert by converting them to md files, if you want.

I see your point about extinction, it can be avoided by choosing N(0) high enough, but it doesn't really matter to me, as long as there are some examples 👍

@mattja can you give one sentence for each example describing where these equations arise in science?
