Goood Day,

I have a cubic root equation. I use Newton-raphson for finding the roots. I want to do parameter estimation (tuning of the equation parameters to be able to give better prediction) using experiment data. Can anyone help me on how to do this?

Thanks for your anticipated help
Regards,
Isa
