"After years of searching for a simplified statistics book, I found the Excel Statistical Master.

Unlike the indecipherable jargon in the countless books I have wasted money on, the language in this book is plain and easy to understand. This is the best $40 I have ever spent. "

"I really like the Excel Statistical Master. It is incredibly useful. The explanations and videos in the manual are excellent. It has really made my work with statistics a LOT easier. I'm really glad that I came across the manual. If you're a student of business statistics, this e-manual is worth WAY more it's priced. I will use your manual as a reference for my MBA course this summer."

Nonlinear Regression Definition

Nonlinear regression is a type of regression analysis differs from linear regression because the prediction equation is a nonlinear equation dependent upon nonlinear parameters. A typical nonlinear model might be the exponential decay or exponential growth. The exponential growth curve is often short-lived and is usually better described with a logistic model.

You can often make a nonlinear model linear using logarithms. One way is to use the regular least squares method to fit ln(Y) = ln(A) + bX + ln(u). That is a way of fitting the data to curve Y = AebX. This is an iterative procedure.

Nonlinear regression is one type of regression analysis in which the data fitting is iterative and the data are continuously approximated. Nonlinear regression depends on nonlinear parameters in its model.
