If you pull twice as hard on a spring, it stretches twice as far. However, when we introduce very large forces or complicated ...

Nonlinear regression is a form of regression analysis in which data fit to a model is expressed as a mathematical function.

We demonstrate the implementation of a variety of non-linear models that are more appropriate for modeling plant growth than are the traditional, linear, models.Ecological inference is frequently ...

While I do spend lots of time pushing the idea of linear approximations on my students, we do need nonlinear functions to describe most interesting physical phenomena.

For this, you also need non-linear thresholding functions that adjust the weights between the layers of neurons.

In a review just published in Nature Materials, researchers take aim at the oldest principle in electronics: Ohm's law.

However, this cannot easily be achieved whilst retaining the conventional non-linear transfer functions, known as gamma curves, which were designed for CRT displays.

A linear relationship (or linear association) is a statistical term used to describe the directly proportional relationship between a variable and a constant.
