curvefit.com was created by GraphPad Software, Inc. Send comments or questions to the author of these pages, Dr. Harvey Motulsky, president of GraphPad Software.

In April 2003, GraphPad released Prism 4 and published Fitting Models to Biological Data using Linear and Nonlinear Regression. This book includes all the information that comprises curvefit.com, and much more. You can read this book as a pdf file.

Default options for nonlinear regression

The nonlinear regression parameters dialog affects one particular nonlinear regression analysis. Change settings on the Analysis Options dialog to change default settings for future nonlinear regression analyses. To open this dialog, pull down the Edit menu and choose Options, then Analysis options. You can change these settings:


	•	Which weighting option.


	•	Report results of runs test of goodness-of-fit?


	•	Use stricter (slower) criteria for convergence?


	•	Make table and graph of residuals?


	•	Number of line segments to generate curves.

Note: Changing the analysis options changes the default settings for future nonlinear regression analyses. It will not change analyses you have already performed.
