Fit Custom Nonlinear Models to Your Data
The Nonlinear platform is a good choice for models that are nonlinear in the parameters. This chapter focuses on custom nonlinear models, which include a model formula and parameters to be estimated. Use the default least squares loss function or a custom loss function to fit models. The platform minimizes the sum of the loss function across the observations.

The Nonlinear platform also provides predefined models, such as polynomial, logistic, Gompertz, exponential, peak, and pharmacokinetic models. See the
“Fit Curve” chapter ...
