This small as we bring the tutorial is how GraphPad Prism 8 for Mac (drawing statistical analysis) model fitted with non-linear regression? Hoping to help you!
1. Input data
Create an XY table, and enter data. If the Y value is copied at each X value, the input table to format the duplicates.
From the XY table or graph, click the shortcut button to make the model fit nonlinear regression. Or click "analysis" and select from the analysis dialog.
2. Choose a model
The non-linear regression model for your data. Therefore, you must select the model or enter a new model.
Why not pick the model computer program for you.

3. Select (or view) Initial value
Nonlinear regression is an iterative process. Program must begin with the right "court" in the estimated value of each variable - such as within one-fifth of the actual value. These initial values then adjusted to improve the fit. See nonlinear regression
Original work
If you use the built-in formula, GraphPad Prism will automatically provide the initial value. If you enter your equation, you can also enter an initial value of the rule. For example, an initial parameter value may be twice the maximum value of the Y data, the initial value of the other parameter may be equal to the average of the maximum and minimum X values. After the rules are defined, Prism calculates an appropriate initial value in accordance with your data range.
"Nonlinear Regression" dialog "initial value" tab allows you to view and calculate the initial value of the coverage.
If you look at the data in the chart to learn and understand all the implications of the model parameters of the equation, you'll find it easy to estimate the initial value. Remember, you only need to estimate. It is not necessarily very accurate. If you're having trouble estimating the initial value, use the reserved data model and simulate the curve. One change one variable and see how they affect the shape of the curve. Once you better understand how the parameters affect the curve, you may find it easier to estimate the initial value.
When fitting a simple model to clean up the data, if the initial value and a far cry from the correct value is irrelevant. Whether you use what kind of initial values, you will get the same best-fit curve, unless the initial value is far from correct. When you distribute a lot of data or model there are many variables, the initial value is more important.
4. Determine whether any constraint parameters
When performing non-linear regression, you do not have each parameter in the equation. Instead, you can be one or more parameters fixed at a constant value. When you only have a few data points to define constants are usually helpful. For example, you may be S-shaped curve or exponentially decaying base platform fixed to zero.
Keep in mind that non-linear regression program is no "common sense." You need to consider how to experiment and decide whether to repair certain parameters. For example, if the background signal has been subtracted, then the dose - response curve or exponential decay curve of the base platform fixed to zero is meaningful.
Prism also allows you to parameter constraints to a specific range of values.
5. If you want a fit two or more data sets, decide whether to share any parameters
If two or more input data sets of data columns, Prism will fit them all in the primary analysis. But unless you specify sharing one or more parameters, or else will be independent of each other fit fit. When sharing parameters, called the global non-linear regression analysis.
6. Determine weighting scheme
Nonlinear regression program typically uniformly weighted, but each point there are many ways of differential weighting points.
7. Select other options
Read the "scope", "output" and "Diagnostic" option on the General tab.
