Nonlinear Function Fitting Task

A Nonlinear Function Fitting Task is a function fitting task that requires the production of a fitted nonlinear function.

• AKA: Nonlinear Regression.
• Context:
  • Task Performance: e.g. Non-Linear Least Squares.
  • It can be solved by a Nonlinear Regression System (that implements a nonlinear regression algorithm).
  • …
• Counter-Example(s):
  • Linear Regression Task.
• See: Curve Fitting Task, Non-Linear Least Squares.

  • In statistics, nonlinear regression is a form of regression analysis in which observational data are modeled by a function which is a nonlinear combination of the model parameters and depends on one or more independent variables. The data are fitted by a method of successive approximations.
