To evaluate and compare parameter estimation techniques designed to handle heteroscedastic variance structures in nonlinear regression models.
Evaluated variations of ordinary, weighted, iteratively reweighted, extended, and generalized least squares methods.
Introduced modified extended iteratively reweighted least squares (MEIRLS) to adjust for parameter estimation bias in assumed variance models.
Conducted comparative performance simulations across 21 heteroscedastic pharmacokinetic-type models and an empirical chemical-reaction dataset, evaluating mean absolute error and 95% confidence-interval coverage.
MEIRLS successfully corrected for bias arising from the simultaneous estimation of regression parameters and variance parameters.
Simulation comparisons identified MEIRLS and specific generalized least squares variations as the top-performing methods based on mean absolute error and 95% confidence interval coverage.
