I'm looking for the derivation of the formula for the stability factor (s''\$S''\$ or s(beta)\$S(\beta)\$) of BJT bias circuits, particularly the ones with emitter resistance. The book I'm using says that the derivation is too complex and so they didn't include it. I tried to derive it myself but I can't get the same result. Does anyone know where I can find the derivation? I tried googling, but the sources I found say the same thing as my book.
