| Summary: | This thesis discussed nonlinear modeling and measures of nonlinear
behaviour. A set of data, representing the average weight of dried tobacco
leaves (in Several nonlinear models were used to fit the data, however only the
Gompertz and the Logistic models were found to be suitable. The estimates of
the para meters were calculated by using the Gauss-Newton algorithm in SPLUS
Programming Language.
A good estimator was the one which had the proper ties closed to the
behaviour of a linear estimate . The non linear behaviour of the estimates was
assessed using two different approaches , namely the analytical and the
empirical approaches . These approaches were employed so that they could
complement the existence of any laggings. |
