Fits a general equation, whose form you specify using normal algebraic notation, to a set of data values. Can handle linear, multivariate, polynomial, and general nonlinear functions. Also plots the data and fitted equation. Nonlin can also be used to do function minimization and root finding for nonlinear functions.

The regression analysis determines the values of the parameters which cause the function to best fit the observed data that you provide. Nonlin allows you to specify the form of the function whose parameters are being estimated using ordinary algebraic notation. In addition to determining the parameter estimates, Nonlin can be directed to generate an output file with predicted values and residuals. It can also plot the observed values and the estimated function and the residual values. In addition to performing regression analysis, Nonlin can also be used to find the root (zero value point) or minimum absolute value of a nonlinear expression. A "DEMO.BAT" file is included to run several example analyses. There are two versions of the Nonlin program: shareware and registered. You are welcome to make copies of the shareware version of Nonlin and pass them on to friends or post this program on bulletin boards or distribute it via disk catalog services provided the entire Nonlin distribution is included in its original, unmodified form. As a shareware product, you are granted a no-cost, trial period of 30 days during which you may evaluate Nonlin. If you find Nonlin to be useful, educational, and/or entertaining, and continue to use it beyond the 30 day trial period, you are required to compensate the author by sending the registration form printed in the REGISTER.DOC file with the appropriate registration fee to help cover the development and support of Nonlin. In return for registering, you will be authorized to continue using Nonlin beyond the trial period and you will receive a registered version of the program, a laser-printed, bound manual, and three months of support via telephone, mail, or CompuServe. Your registration fee will be refunded if you encounter a serious bug that cannot be corrected. The registered version of Nonlin omits the shareware notification screen at the start of the run and does not require you to press a key to proceed with the analysis. The registered version also includes the ability to print plots on HP LaserJet printers. Nonlin requires 512 KB of memory. In order to use the opional PLOT command you must have a CGA, EGA, or VGA monitor. An 80x87 numeric coprocessor greatly improves its execution speed, but is not required. The Nonlin system consists of the following files: NONLIN.EXE -- The executable program. NONLIN.DOC -- Documentation file. REGISTER.DOC -- Form to register and order latest version of Nonlin. NONLIN.FON -- Font file used if you request a plot. NONLIN.LJF -- HP LaserJet font file (registered version only). *.NLR -- Example command files. DEMO.BAT -- DOS batch file to run several demo regressions To install Nonlin, copy the files into the directory of your choice. The registered version of Nonlin includes a file named NONLIN.LJF with the fonts needed for printing plots on HP LaserJet printers. If you do not plan to generated hard copy output for a LaserJet printer, you may delete the NONLIN.LJF file. If the NONLIN.FON and NONLIN.LJF files are not in your current directory, you must place a command of the following form in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file to tell Nonlin where to look for its font files: SET NONLIN=directory Where "directory" is the name of the device and directory where the files are located. For example, if the files are located in a directory named NONLIN on the C disk, the following command could be used: SET NONLIN=C:\NONLIN Once Nonlin has been installed, it can be started using a DOS command of the form: NONLIN command_file where "command_file" is the name of a file containing Nonlin commands that control the analysis. If you are anxious to try Nonlin, a DOS batch file named "DEMO.BAT" is included which runs several example analyses. To run it simply type the command: DEMO You can also run examples by entering the following commands: NONLIN AIDS NONLIN F33YEAR NONLIN F33EXP NONLIN MAGNET NONLIN COOLING Read or print the NONLIN.DOC file for further information. ===== Packing List ===================================== As released by the author or publisher, this package contained the following files in addition to this VENDINFO.DIZ: Filename Size Date Time CRC32 DEMO.BAT 986 25-Aug-1993 08:35p C05A9FDD FILE_ID.DIZ 421 27-Jan-1994 10:22a 8E633819 NONLIN.DOC 177792 28-Jan-1994 06:05p 13B5169C REGISTER.DOC 2234 27-Jan-1994 10:28a 53BF1E1F VENDOR.DOC 2541 28-Jan-1994 07:47a C192D8A6 WHATSNEW.DOC 2971 29-Jan-1994 08:46a 29A061E2 NONLIN.EXE 246706 1-Feb-1994 08:26p 7EF7006F NONLIN.FON 50880 12-Nov-1987 01:25p AE3A472B READ.ME 4374 7-Aug-1993 09:47a F88C557A AIDS.NLR 604 23-Jan-1994 02:01p 241F5288 ASYMPTOT.NLR 1183 24-Jan-1994 07:48a FCD4EE55 AVLTIME.NLR 1290 24-Jan-1994 08:00a 4C1A8EBE BOIL.NLR 616 17-Jan-1994 04:33p 87161ED2 CIRCLE.NLR 521 5-Dec-1993 03:57p 271EAB1B COOLING.NLR 1632 23-Jan-1994 02:49p 3F4EF7F6 DIODE.NLR 1101 17-Jan-1994 09:09p 1EB5AD08 F33.NLR 946 26-Jan-1994 07:58p EA20D5F0 F33EXP.NLR 715 27-Jan-1994 12:14p D73C0A43 F33TIME.NLR 754 24-Jan-1994 08:11a 1670F75C F33YEAR.NLR 878 24-Jan-1994 08:12a 30D3D03E LINEAR.NLR 1182 26-Jan-1994 08:18a F3A453E7 MAGNET.NLR 715 26-Jan-1994 08:03p BB15E92C MINFALL.NLR 1580 11-Dec-1993 09:48p 6ABA9255 MINFUEL.NLR 1121 24-Jan-1994 08:19a 2BDF2B1F MINPAROB.NLR 100 8-Dec-1993 09:48p F582537A MINSL.NLR 109 24-Jan-1994 08:22a 92808CCD PIECE.NLR 1613 23-Jan-1994 02:52p 667881C4 POSITION.NLR 428 24-Jan-1994 08:24a BAD93A33 POWER.NLR 1052 9-Dec-1993 08:49p 3956431F QUAD.NLR 1466 24-Jan-1994 05:37p FBC2A6E8 SINE.NLR 1121 11-Dec-1993 12:16p 1891C6DD SQUARE.NLR 859 24-Jan-1994 08:15p CAD5C8C8 TREND.NLR 1237 16-Jan-1994 06:57p 13FFFED9 NONLIN.SDA 1333 27-Jan-1994 10:24a 8DC98B09 ===== Installation ===================================== To install Nonlin, copy the files into the directory of your choice.
