Example of Fitting a Custom Model
To fit a custom model, you must first create a model column with initial parameter estimates. This method does require a few more steps than fitting a built-in model, but it does allow any nonlinear model to be fit. Also, you can provide a custom loss function, and specify several other options for the fitting process.
This section provides an example of creating the formula column for a model, and fitting the model in the Nonlinear platform. The data is in the US Population.jmp data table. The response variable is the population (in millions) of the Unites States and the predictor is the year.
1. Open the US Population.jmp sample data table.
2. Create a new column called Model.
3. Right-click the Model column ...
