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',

Nonlinear Regression Applied to Non-Newtonian Flow

TL;DR: Modifications of the Gauss-Newton method are among the most widely used methods for nonlinear regression analysis and one such modification, which the authors found applicable to a wide variety of pharmaceutical systems, is described.

Plant response to temperature stress is characterized by an asymmetric sigmoid function

TL;DR: In this article, the Richards' function was used to fit temperature-mortality data sets of Salix viminalis (L), subjected to different ice nucleation conditions during cooling, and the inflection point increased from.366 with ice as a nucleator, to 0.813 with only water.

Parameter estimation in nonlinear regression models 1

TL;DR: In this article, the problem of parameter estimation in nonlinear regression models is formulated as an inadequate least square problem and solved using the weighted inadequate least squares approximation (WILSA) method.

Experimental and Numerical Study on Migration of LNAPL under the Influence of Fluctuating Water Table in Subsurface

TL;DR: In this article, the results of NAPL Simulator which is used to predict the behavior of benzene (an LNAPL) under fluctuating groundwater table conditions are analyzed and a very good correlation was found between water saturation, capillary pressure and the location of the water table, and confirmed that the hysteresis phenomenon makes the S-p relations history and path dependant.

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.
