Abstract :In this study we have tried to compare the results obtained by Microsoft Excel Solver program with those of NCSS and SPSS in some nonlinear regression models. We fit some nonlinear models to data present in http//itl.nist.gov/div898/strd/nls/nls_main.shtml by the three packages. Although EXCEL did not succeed as well as the other packages, we conclude that Microsoft Excel Solver provides us a cheaper and a more interactive way of studying nonlinear models.
