nonlinear regression for dummies



Hello all,

I'm trying to understand the output of a nonlinear regression analysis
done by Mathematica. The fit is to a function of 2 parameters. Now,
before I started this, I thought I knew about statistics; mean,
variance, chi-squared, and so forth. But the output of the regression
is a bunch of numbers that I don't quite understand. I'm hoping maybe
someone here can teach me a thing or two.

The ANOVA table looks like this:

DF SumOfSq MeanSq

Model 2 0.5 0.25
Error 111 0.01 0.0001
Uncorrected Total 113 0.51
Corrected Total 112 0.18

I'm guessing DF is degress of freedom, and the SumOfSq is the variance
squared, but I don't understand any of the other terms.

Please let me know if you can learn me something.

Thanks!
dan
