title: Multiparametric curve fitting--V: The general program 'ABLET', a system for regression analysis in studies of solution equilibria.
abstract: The general program ABLET is a system of subprograms for non-linear regression analysis of experimental data to find an appropriate model. The structure of ABLET provides a suitable organizational framework in which just two specific subroutines have to be supplied by the user. The resulting program can estimate non-linear model parameters with their standard deviations, test the agreement between experimental data and a mathematical model, test the accuracy and reliability of the parameters found, and simulate synthetic data for preselected parametric values. Heuristic, and/or algorithmic minimization strategies aid examination of the local and overall minima. The method of construction of the program for a particular system is discussed.
