The nonlinear model with variance components, which combines a nonlinear model for the mean with additive random effects, is applicable to split-plot and nested experiments. We propose two methods of ...

We propose a global smoothing method based on polynomial splines for the estimation of functional coefficient regression models for non-linear time series. Consistency and rate of convergence results ...

By contrast, nonlinear regression analysis or nonlinear least-squares fitting (NLSF) refers to equations that are nonlinear in their parameters.
