NONLIN is weighted least-squares program designed to estimate
both the linear and non-linear parameters in a user-specified
function. Originally designed for large, mainframe computer
systems, NONLIN can, nonetheless, be implemented on a
PC system with a FORTRAN compiler.

NONLIN.FOR is composed of a main routine, 11 subroutines, and one
function. The subroutine ADA must be provided by the user in
order to specify for the program the form of the function to be
estimated. The programs are thoroughly commented and no further
documentation will be provided on the algorithm.

A sample version of ADA is provided with test data.
The results, in double precision, versus the expected results
are as follow for the test problem:

single precision expexted
result result
--------------------------------------------------------------
Linear parameter 1 0.3754 0.375
Linear parameter 2 1.9358 1.940
Linear parameter 3 -1.4647 -1.460

Non-linear parameter 1 0.01287 0.0129
Non-linear parameter 2 0.02212 0.0221
--------------------------------------------------------------

It is not known, in 1993, on what calculations the expected results
are based. The FORTRAN compiler used was from the MicroSoft,
version 5.0, with an 80287 coprocessor. Be aware that the EXE
sample file is also for the 8087 and will not execute without one.

For specific data and an equation to be fitted the ADA routine
and the rest of the program will have to recompiled.
This is the beauty of Public Domain source code.
Enjoy
