A program written for use with the IBM-PC can be used to find least squares solutions to linearized multidimensional equations. The program is ' user-friendly' by requiring little from the user except to make decisions; most responses can be entered by a single keystroke. Once data are entered by the user, they can be repeatedly manipulated, graphed, and correlated. Many models relating data variables can be tried relatively easily, and best fit results found. Examples using respiratory mechanical data illustrate the ease of model comparisons.

Many biological phenomenon are nonlinear and poorly approximated by linear regression. The program POLFIT calculates curvilinear regressions by fitting of orthogonal polynomials. This program, as well as two supporting programs (CORREC: disk storage, and CALCML: calculation of cumulated values of se
We propose a method allowing the automatic exploitation of radioimmunoassay results. The standard curve is calculated according to two models; a linear model by Logit-Log transformation of data and another one using Fisher's orthogonal polynomials. The computer programs are written in FORTRAN IV.
