TY - BOOK AU - Rhinehart,R.Russell TI - Nonlinear regression modeling for engineering applications: modeling, model validation, and enabling design of experiments SN - 9781118597965 U1 - 000SB:620.001 23 PY - 2016/// CY - Chichester PB - Wiley, ASME Press, KW - Regression analysis KW - Mathematical models KW - Engineering N1 - Includes bibliographical references and index; Part I. Introduction -- Part II. Preparation for underlying skills -- Part III. Regression, validation, design -- Part IV. Case studies and data -- Appendices N2 - Since mathematical models express our understanding of how nature behaves, we use them to validate our understanding of the fundamentals about systems (which could be processes, equipment, procedures, devices, or products). Also, when validated, the model is useful for engineering applications related to diagnosis, design, and optimization. ER -
