Hy
I want to know how to make linearization for some function,...what should by in Non-linear least squares problems.
In my book I have only this example how to do:

Non-linear least squares problems was in Matlab:
x = [ 1 2 3 4 5]
y = [ 3.5 2 4 8]

u = log(y)
v = [ones(5,1), x']
btr = x\u'

You have more x data values than corresponding y values?
