  2. Nonlinear regression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonlinear_regression

    In statistics, nonlinear regression is a form of regression analysis in which observational data are modeled by a function which is a nonlinear combination of the model parameters and depends on one or more independent variables. The data are fitted by a method of successive approximations (iterations).

  3. Non-linear least squares - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-linear_least_squares

    Non-linear least squares is the form of least squares analysis used to fit a set of m observations with a model that is non-linear in n unknown parameters (m ≥ n). It is used in some forms of nonlinear regression. The basis of the method is to approximate the model by a linear one and to refine the parameters by successive iterations.

  4. Regression analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regression_analysis

    First, regression analysis is widely used for prediction and forecasting, where its use has substantial overlap with the field of machine learning. Second, in some situations regression analysis can be used to infer causal relationships between the independent and dependent variables. Importantly, regressions by themselves only reveal ...

  5. Nonlinear mixed-effects model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonlinear_mixed-effects_model

    A popular approach is the Lindstrom-Bates algorithm [3] which relies on iteratively optimizing a nonlinear problem, locally linearizing the model around this optimum and then employing conventional methods from linear mixed-effects models to do maximum likelihood estimation.

  6. Curve fitting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curve_fitting

    Extrapolation refers to the use of a fitted curve beyond the range of the observed data, [16] and is subject to a degree of uncertainty [17] since it may reflect the method used to construct the curve as much as it reflects the observed data. For linear-algebraic analysis of data, "fitting" usually means trying to find the curve that minimizes ...

  7. Sensitivity analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensitivity_analysis

    Regression analysis, in the context of sensitivity analysis, involves fitting a linear regression to the model response and using standardized regression coefficients as direct measures of sensitivity. The regression is required to be linear with respect to the data (i.e. a hyperplane, hence with no quadratic terms, etc., as regressors) because ...

  9. Nonlinear modelling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonlinear_modelling

    The newer nonlinear modelling approaches include non-parametric methods, such as feedforward neural networks, kernel regression, multivariate splines, etc., which do not require a priori knowledge of the nonlinearities in the relations. Thus the nonlinear modelling can utilize production data or experimental results while taking into account ...
