A simple method for fitting multi-exponential curves of the decay type in a hand calculator.
The method of curve fitting here described is simple, dependable and can be programmed in a hand calculator. It consists in a log linear regression "peeling" that uses the maximization of the correlation coefficient for determining the number of exponential terms. It was experimentally verified and found to give satisfactory answers when compared to weighted least square iterative techniques.
