Explain the context of use of nonlinear linear regression
Construct nonlinear regression models
Assess the goodness-of-fit of the model to the data
Identify common issues in nonlinear regression, diagnose problems and fix them
Interpret statistical software output
This half-day workshop offers an overview of nonlinear regression. This special type of regression technique is commonly used to model growth curves and to establish relationships between dose and responses.
We discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the techniques, their practical implementation and the interpretation of results produced from the use of these techniques.
Upon completion of this course, participants will understand the underlying assumptions of the technique and will be able to:
