Understanding the Least Squares Method and ANOVA for Non-Linear Regression

In this video, we explore the **Least Squares Method applied to non-linear regression models, and how to test the effectiveness of the model using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). This tutorial will help you understand how to fit non-linear models to data using the least squares approach and evaluate the model’s performance through statistical tests.

We’ll break down the following concepts:
- Least Squares Method for Non-Linear Regression: Learn how the least squares method can be adapted to non-linear models to minimize the sum of squared errors between observed data and predictions.
- Fitting Non-Linear Curves: See how non-linear regression works with data that doesn't follow a straight-line relationship, including the process of finding the best-fit curve.
- Introduction to ANOVA: Understand how ANOVA can be used to assess the goodness of fit of your regression model, compare models, and check if the regression coefficients significantly explain the variance in the data.
- Step-by-Step Example: Walk through a complete example, fitting a non-linear regression model and then performing an ANOVA test to evaluate model performance.

By the end of this video, you'll have the knowledge and tools to apply the least squares method to non-linear data, as well as test your model's significance using ANOVA.
