Keywords:
Nonlinear regression model; confidence region; singularity
Summary:
A construction of confidence regions in nonlinear regression models is difficult mainly in the case that the dimension of an estimated vector parameter is large. A singularity is also a problem. Therefore some simple approximation of an exact confidence region is welcome. The aim of the paper is to give a small modification of a confidence ellipsoid constructed in a linearized model which is sufficient under some conditions for an approximation of the exact confidence region.
