of the form,

relates a vector of independent variables, , and its associated observed dependent variables, . The function is nonlinear in the components of the vector of parameters , but otherwise arbitrary. For example, the Michaelis-Menten model for enzyme kinetics has two parameters and one independent variable, related by by:

This function, which is a rectangular hyperbola, is nonlinear because
