Subject: Nonlinear Least Squares in MATLAB

I am interested in knowing who has converted a nonlinear
least squares program to MATLAB language. I would appreciate
any leads that anyone has to give on these matters.

Many Thanks. S.I. Chou 619-553-2541

[Ed. note: Check if your MATLAB has a Nelder-Meade algorithm
in an M-file. Try "help nelder", or execute the "nademo" and
pick option #4. If you don't have it, let me know. Also,
Richard Behrens, a student of Bobby Schnabel at the University
of Colorado (na.schnabel), has written a suite of M-files for
solving nonlinear equations. Maybe they have some nonlinear
least squares stuff as well. Anybody else? --Cleve ]
