title: Multiparametric curve fitting XV statistical analysis and goodness-of-fit test by the least-squares algorithm MINOPT.
abstract: Estimation of nonlinear regression quality leads to examination of quality of parameter estimates, a degree of fit, a prediction ability of model proposed and quality of experimental data. Statistical analysis serves for computation of confidence intervals of parameters and confidence bands, the bias of parameters and bias of residuals. Goodness-of-fit test examines classical residuals using various diagnostics and identifies influential points. Mentioned topics of nonlinear model building and testing contained in MINOPT program from CHEMSTAT package are illustrated.
