Response Surface Analysis with Correlated Data: A Nonlinear Model Approach
相关数据的响应面分析:非线性模型方法
Statistical methods for fitting nonlinear functions to data generated by correlated response variates are discussed. Estimation of the model parameters is performed with an iterative two-stage scheme. The estimation procedure accommodates both within-unit and between-unit variability in fitting a response surface. Under regularity conditions the procedure yields asymptotically normal, strongly consistent estimators. If desired a patterned variance-covariance matrix can be…
