This paper addresses the building of stochastic models that adequately describe dynamic phenomena and, in particular, those that occur in the Biosciences. In this context, the empirical fitting of a Gaussian diffusion process from sample data of a dynamic growth phenomenon is considered. In order to do this, a methodology based on approximations to its mean and variance functions is presented. Finally, several applications based on simulated and real data have been carried out.
