  Estimates the selected, optimizable parameters for an experiment. Under construction
2024.Jul.03 12:38:10
Abscissas i (order no.)   x1 Selected abscissas for graph.
n, nvar, npar No. of experimental points, independent variables, and total model parameters.
niv, ivopt
No. of optimizable model parameters and its rank vector.
X X-values given row-wise.
Y Y-values.
Par. names   1.α  2.β  3.γ Parameter names. •
P Parameters; scale factors.
krit 1 2 (min. sq.) 3 4 ∞ (minmax) Criterion [power of |ycalcy|].
tol, maxcal, imonit Tolerance, max. no. of iterations, monitoring.
Show values Shows the values of the graph coordinates.
  Estimates the selected parameters in the given model (Chapman-Richards). (The Nelder-Mead algorithm is used to optimize fit.) Only the parameters selected in 'ivopt' are optimized from the initial guess, P, given.
NB: in this example, β is made negative in the model, irrespective of its sign (β := −|β|).
