TLDR
The experimental scientist is frequently faced with the task of determining the functional relation between a response, y and a number of inputs, x, x2,. * *, x, with the help of empirical data.
Abstract
The experimental scientist is frequently faced with the task of determining the functional relation between a 'response', y and a number of 'inputs', x , x2, . * * , x, with the help of empirical data. Often the mathematical form of the functional relation is assumed to be known and is written in the form of a 'regression function',

Erratum to: The oral bioavailability and pharmacokinetics of soluble and resin-bound forms of amphetamine and phentermine in man

TL;DR: The one-compartment open model with first-order drug absorption was fitted to the data from each subject by nonlinear regression methods and provided an excellent fit and relative bioavailability of the two salts did not differ for either drug.

Plant Viability as a Function of Temperature Stress (The Richards Function Applied to Data from Freezing Tests of Growing Shoots).

TL;DR: The Richards function led to a more accurate reflection of the temperature-mortality course of growing Salix stems than the logistic function, which possesses the flexibility needed to describe plant injury response in terms of physical and plant physiological mechanisms.

Enabling Optimization-Based Localization for IoT Devices

TL;DR: Experimental results finally show that subdecimeter localization accuracy can be achieved using the proposed optimization-based approach, even when the majority of the UWB radio locations are unknown.

Surfactant Effects on Spray-Congealed Formulations of Sulfaethylthiadiazole—Wax

TL;DR: An investigation was undertaken to examine the effects of selected formulation and production variables on the physical characteristics and dissolution patterns of spray-congealed particles of sulfaethylthiadiazole (SETD)-wax, and a log—log dissolution model showed good agreement with the experimental data.

A method for the solution of certain non – linear problems in least squares

TL;DR: In this article, the problem of least square problems with non-linear normal equations is solved by an extension of the standard method which insures improvement of the initial solution, which can also be considered an extension to Newton's method.

On the Experimental Attainment of Optimum Conditions

TL;DR: The work described in this article is the result of a study extending over the past few years by a chemist and a statistician, which has come about mainly in answer to problems of determining optimum conditions in chemical investigations, but they believe that the methods will be of value in other fields where experimentation is sequential and the error fairly small.
