There was a great post about this topic that helped me. Here is the link: http://forums.wolfram.com/mathgroup/archive/2004/Oct/msg00031.html I have used it on very large data sets of up to 3 sets of the data at a time. mb Quoting dantimatter <dantimatter at gmail.com>: > Hello all, > > I have a question about using the nonlinear regression function on a > large data set.
