May I suggest you consult your local statistician. For reasons that (s)he can answer, your request makes little sense.
Hint: Nonlinear regression is much different than linear regression: The design matrix -- and hence the variance of estimators -- is a function of the parameters being estimated. (But there may well be packages that are relevant -- the issue is your ability to use them properly) Cheers, Bert On Mon, Nov 14, 2011 at 10:52 AM, Johannes W.
