Nonlinear Regression

This text/reference provides a broad survey of aspects of model-building and statistical inference. Presents an accessible synthesis of current theoretical literature, requiring only familiarity with linear regression methods. The three chapters on central computational questions comprise a self-contained introduction to unconstrained optimization. Includes many illustrative practical examples.

George A.F. Seber and Christopher J. Wild are professors in the Department of Statistics at The University of Auckland in New Zealand.
