-
- NONLIN -- Nonlinear Regression Program
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- If you like SIMSTAT but need need a powerful nonlinear regression
- program that can perform statistical regression with general equations,
- I suggest you try the Nonlin program written by Phillip H. Sherrod.
-
- Nonlin is a powerful nonlinear regression program that can fit a
- general equation, whose form you specify using normal algebraic
- notation, to a set of data values. The fitted equation can include
- polynomial, exponential, log, square root, and transcendental
- functions including trigonometric, Bessel, Chebyshev polynomials.
- The fitted function may even be piecewise continuous.
-
- Nonlin can be used as a stand-along program or invoked as an "add-in"
- from SIMSTAT using the SIM2NL utility program. The shareware version
- of Nonlin is available from many BBS or you can contact the author at
- the address below. Nonlin version 2.2 or later is required for use
- with SIMSTAT.
-
