Computational methods for fitting nonlinear models have developed considerably in the last decade. Statistical use of these techniques has, as yet, lagged somewhat behind. The present paper gives a ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Many data are suitably modeled by functions consisting of straight-line segments. These functions may be called piecewise-linear. Smooth ...

Modern measurement techniques allow researchers to gather ever more data in less time. In many cases, however, the primary or raw data have to be further analyzed, be it for the verification of a ...
