A method commonly used to fit non-linear curves to data instead of straight regression lines is polynomial regression. This method uses the same principles as linear regression but models the ...

The assumption most appropriate for nonlinear relationships estimated on stratified cross-section data (e.g., the Current Population Surveys) is that of independent not identically distributed ...
