Hello Heinz, You can have a look at pages 45-49 of my slides on least Squares : http://www.utc.fr/~mottelet/mt94/leastSquares.pdf Page 48 you have an example where the Covariance matrix is approximated for a fitting problem with an ode defined page 42. S. Quoting Heinz Nabielek : Scilab

[Scilab-users] Error in parameters determined in non-linear least-squares fitting

2020-04-04 Thread Heinz Nabielek
Scilab friends: the power of Scilab is amazing and I have used it recently for non-linear least-squares fitting, below example from Scilab help function for "datafit". On occasions, I have also used "leastsq". Question: how do I derive the 1sigma standard error in the three parameters p(1),

Stéphane, Yeah, but really badly conditionned compared to the above method which is based on orthogonal tranformations (X=Q*R factorization). With your below method you solve a linear system with X'*X matrix which has a condition number which is the square of the condition number of the R
