Multiplicative correction factors are derived for the limiting F distributions of two test statistics for parameter subsets in nonlinear regression. The factors depend on the first and second derivatives of the model and are related to measures of intrinsic nonlinearity. An example is given for which the correction is substantial. A similar factor is obtained for the lack of fit test in nonlinear regression.
