Cloning data with unchanged estimates of estimable non-linear functions of parameters

Abstract

Non-linear regression models occur in the fields of biology, banking, economics, and sociology, population and biological growth. The absolute growth, growth of humans, and most importantly, an economic variable is appropriately described by non-linear regression models. In this article, we present cloned datasets for bivariate and multivariate non-linear regression models with the same non-linear regression fit. The application of such cloned datasets is used for the confidentiality of sensitive data for publication purposes. In this article, we present cloned data sets which will yield the same fitted non-linear regression models.
