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

Several authors have noticed poor ÿnite sample behavior of the most widely used parametric variogram estimator by Cressie (1985). This behavior is most notable in the case that ÿtting is done on the collection of squared di erences of observations from all point pairs, the so-called variogram cloud.
Spectroscopic data sets often contain a significant number of outliers due to effects such as misassignments, trial assignments, or local perturbations. Standard fitting routines can be made robust to such outliers by the method of iteratively reweighted least squares. It is proposed here that the w
The linear combination of iterates \(1-\left(1-P_{n}\right)^{M}\) of Bernstein and Durrmeyer operators of a fixed degree \(n\) is considered for increasing order of iteration \(M\). The resulting sequence of polynomials is shown to converge to the Lagrange interpolating polynomial for the Bernstein
