Fitting a Von Bertalanffy Growth Curve by Least Squares Including Tables of Polynomials.

Least-Squares Fitting of Data with Polynomials

Likelihood Methods for the Von Bertalanffy Growth Curve

Likelihood methods for the von Bertalanffy growth curve are examined under the assumption of independent, normally distributed errors. The following are examined: determining the best method of estimation, relationships between methods of estimation, failure of assumptions, constructing confidence regions, and applying likelihood ratio tests. An eXanlple is presented illustrating many of the me...

PEDOMODELS FITTING WITH FUZZY LEAST SQUARES REGRESSION

Pedomodels have become a popular topic in soil science and environmentalresearch. They are predictive functions of certain soil properties based on other easily orcheaply measured properties. The common method for fitting pedomodels is to use classicalregression analysis, based on the assumptions of data crispness and deterministic relationsamong variables. In modeling natural systems such as s...
