โฆ Synopsis
A BASIC computer program for performing weighted nonlinear regression is described and a listing of the program is given. The program, which is small and simple to use, has been designed to be run by users with little knowledge of mathematics or computers. Robust methods of analysis are described which may be applied to data in which experimental errors are not normally distributed, and the program incorporates one such method. It is shown that the program is useful for the analysis of data conforming to the Michaelis-Menten equation, a single exponential, and to binding equations, and other applications are discussed.

A simple program for non-linear regression analysis, based upon the strategy of evolution, is described. It should run on any minicomputer (even on 'personal computers') if a BASIC interpreter is available. It can easily be modified for both the type of function and the 'best fitting' condition.
