Closing Comment Regarding MATLAB

As with the coverage of VBA in this text, this chapter has only touched the tip of the iceberg with respect to MATLAB. It is intended that with the background of the introductory material present here, a student can explore the vastness of available MATLAB features and functions. For example, the nonlinear regression example (Example 10.7) used the function minsearch, which is not a highly robust minimization algorithm. Another MATLAB function that is particularly suited to nonlinear regression is nlf it and its companion nlparci, which provides confidence
