A Method for Computing Initial Approximations for a 3-parameter Exponential Function

C. R. Kikawa, M. Y. Shatalov & P. H. Kloppers · Physical Science International Journal · 2015

This paper proposes a modified method (MM) for computing initial guess values (IGVs) of a single exponential class of transcendental least square problems. The proposed method is an improvement of the already published multiple goal function (MGF) method. Current approaches like...
