n, nvar, npar |
|
No. of experimental points, independent variables,
and total model parameters. |
niv, ivopt |

No. of optimizable model parameters and its
rank vector. |

4
∞ (minmax) |
Criterion [power of |ycalc−y|]. |

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|). |
