This book will be of assistance to anyone attempting to extract the maximum information, from any set of data, using curve fitting methods. In addition, the book shows how advanced fitting techniques such as robust fitting with splines and non-linear regression are applied to practical problems. The book also includes derivation of the statistical errors that are present in this type of analysis. It is written in a manner so that the impatient reader can rapidly get into fitting spectra.
