Nonlinear regression on a microcomputer: which program?
1Department of Biochemistry, University of Edinburgh Medical School, UK.
Abstract:
Eleven published programs for performing nonlinear regression using a microcomputer have been reviewed. They have been assessed according to many criteria, especially: application, program language, algorithm used, method for calculating partial differentials, facility for weighting, desirable input and output features, robustness during execution, memory requirements, accessability, ease of implementation and evaluation and testing. No one program contains all the desirable characteristics discussed, but guidance is given as to which might be the most suitable for a particular purpose or for a given microcomputer system.

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:

For data that follow a straight line, the standard method for fitting is the linear...
