Problems arising in nonlinear least squares fitting of the first part of the lognormal curve to data are analysed. No evidence of the existence of multiple local minima of the sum of squares has been found. However, it is demonstrated that severe convergence problems might arise, especially ifthe da

SIPHAR and MKMODEL in their extended least squares modes have been compared when fitting a triexponential declining function to simulated data. The data were simulated on SAS incorporating normally distributed random error, having coefficients of variation (CV) of 5 , 10, 15, and 25 per cent. At eac
A method that fits a least squares sine curve to both point and averaged time series data is described. The method includes a full regression analysis and extends the current "cosinor" approach. Developments include estimation of the linear trend and fitting secondary wave forms.
A program is described that permits iterative least-squares nonlinear regression fitting of polyexponential curves using the Hewlett Packard HP 41 CV programmable calculator. The program enables the analysis of pharmacokinetic drug level profiles with a high degree of precision. Up to 15 data pairs
