A regression analysis program to fit nonseparable equations
Abstract:
A program to perform a nonlinear best fit for separable and nonseparable equations is described. This software is written in Turbo-Pascal so that it can be run both on CP/M systems or PC-DOS systems; in the latter, graphics can be performed using the Turbo Graphix Toolbox. From initial estimates the regression coefficients as well as the statistics are calculated. Two examples are shown: one of a separable equation describing receptor binding; the second of a nonseparable equation, describing the displacement of labeled agonist by an inhibitor. The only difference in the fit between a separable and a nonseparable equation is that the latter requires iterations for an estimate of the dependent variable every time that new regression coefficients are calculated.

Regression Analysis
In regression analysis, a regression equation is determined based on the line of best fit– a line that best fits the data points plotted in a graph. This line is also called the regression line. The algebraic equation for the regression line is called the regression equation. It is represented as:
Residuals and Least-Squares Property
If the observed data point lies above the line, the residual is positive, and the line underestimates the actual data value for y. If the observed data point lies below the line, the residual is negative, and the line overestimates the actual data value for y.

Multiple Regression
Farmers can use multiple regression to determine the crop yield based on more than one factor, such as water availability, fertilizer, soil properties, etc. Here, the crop yield is the response or dependent variable as it depends on the other independent variables. The analysis requires the construction of a scatter plot...
