ParameterBias

ParameterBias
is a possible value for the RegressionReport option for NonlinearRegress which represents the the estimated bias in the parameter estimates.

MORE INFORMATION

To use ParameterBias, you first need to load the Regression Common Functions Package. You can do this by using Needs["NonlinearRegression`"], which will automatically load the Regression Common Functions Package, or you can load the package directly by using Needs["RegressionCommon`"].

ParameterBias gives a vector of the estimated differences between the parameter estimates and the true parameter values.

ParameterBias is based on the average curvature of the solution locus tangential to the least-squares estimate.
