bump hunting in nonlinear regression

- Forwarded message from Daniela Ichim - In a nonlinear (univariate) regression problem, specifically a calibration problem in thermometrics, I have the problem of testing whether a curve expressing a relationship between Electrical Resistance and Temperature is monotone versus the possib

Ron's post never showed up on my server. I especially agreed with the first paragraph of Steve's answer. No one so far has posted a response that recognizes the total innocence of the original question -- This is not, "Why do we see two things that are almost identical?" This is, "Why do we see

Daniela-- Does "nonlinear" refer to a LINEAR MODEL of the form: Y = a1*X1 + a2*X2 + a3*X3 + a4*X4 +... + ap*Xp + E where X1 = U - a predictor of all 1s. X2 = X - any numerical predictor X3 = X^2 - the "squares" of the elements in X X4 = X^3 - the "cubes" of the elements in X etc.? If this i

Dear Colleagues, In response to private email, I'd like to clarify what I meant to include with the term 'on-line survey' and 'internet format.' By internet format I am thinking of a web site where someone can respond by pointing and clicking, and the data are stored in a file for import into a
