Nonlinear Regression in Microsoft Excel

This tutorial covers nonlinear regression using Excel and VBA. It begins with accessing resources on apmonitor.com, setting up data, and creating estimated values for correlation. The tutorial demonstrates using Excel's Solver to optimize and minimize errors in the regression model. It concludes with additional resources for learning the same process in Python and MATLAB.
