[For the review of the first edition from 1996 see Zbl 0867.62059.] This second edition provides a comprehensive overview of the field of parametric nonlinear regression models in data analysis. The book aims especially at students, as a tutorial book, and at the scientists applying statistical methods in different practical domains. Each chapter begins with a set of different concrete examples, followed by the corresponding statistical issues and solutions. In addition, where necessary, a very simple theoretical background is provided. Finally, each chapter ends with the use of the nls2 package implemented in S-PLUS and R. The book is divided into seven chapters. Chapter 1 shows how to estimate nonlinear regression model parameters. Chapter 2 describes how to determine the accuracy of the estimators. Chapter 3 presents methods for models with heterogeneous variances. Chapter 4 provides methods for detecting and correcting model misspecifications. Chapter 5 deals with calibration and prediction. Chapter 6 deals with the binomial nonlinear model while chapter 7 focuses on the multinomial and Poisson nonlinear models. The authors use real-world examples, easy-to-understand explanations, and the reader is required to have only basic statistical skills.
