Chapter 8: Nonlinear Regression Models

Introduction

Nonlinear regression consists of models that have a nonlinear formulation and cannot be linearized via transformations. One of the most “infamous” nonlinear regression models is the I-Star Market Impact Model introduced by Kissell & Malamut (1999). This model is used extensively for electronic, algorithmic, and high frequency trading. See Kissell et al.
