Nonlinear Regression

Nonlinear fixed- and mixed-effects regression models

In a nonlinear regression model, the response variable does not need to be expressed as a linear combination of model coefficients and predictor variables. You can perform a nonlinear regression with or without the NonLinearModel object or by using the interactive tool nlintool.
