Keywords:
nonlinear regression model; parameter-effects arrays; confidence region; three-dimensional parameter effects; Bates-Watts array; four-dimensional parameter-effects arrays; transformations of parameters
Summary:
Formulas for a new three- and four-dimensional parameter-effects arrays corresponding to transformations of parameters in non-linear regression models are given. These formulae make the construction of the confidence regions for parameters easier. An example is presented which shows that some care is necessary when a new array is computed.
