Nonlinear OLS

Nonlinear Ordinary Least Squares (NLS) estimates regression models in which the conditional mean function is nonlinear in the parameters. Like standard OLS it minimises the sum of squared residuals, but because no closed-form solution exists the estimator is found by iterative numerical optimisation. Under standard regularity conditions NLS is consistent and asymptotically normal.
