[comp.dsp] Nonlinear Regression

mvelezre@athena.mit.edu (Miguel . Velez-Reyes) (01/22/91)

I would appreciate any help in locating references, examples, etc ...
regarding curvature effects in nonlinear regression (estimation)

Things that interest me are:

	i. effects of curvature in inference,
	ii. experiment design,
	iii. convergence of iterative and secuential (recursive) algorithms,
	iv. transformations to minimize effects of curvature,
	v. measures of curvature and their computation,
	vi. methods to speed up algorithm convergence by taking into      	
            consideration  the effects of the nonlinearity of the parameters.

Thanks for any help
