MULTI-FORTE is an expanded version of the MULTI non-linear fitting programs written by Yamaoka et al. The functions of the three original programs (including Gauss-Newton and Simplex fitting algorithms) have been combined and translated into FORTRAN 77 on the Macintosh computer for both speed and convenience. Models can be described in integrated equation form or as a system of differential equations. Bayesian estimation is also available. Improved numerical integration routines have been added including methods suitable for systems of 'stiff' differential equations (Fehlberg's 4/5 Runge-Kutta method and Gear's DIFSUB subroutine). MULTI-FORTE is a user-friendly program taking data from keyboard or disk file to produce output on screen, printer, or disk file in tables or printer-type plots.
MULTI - FORTE是由山冈等人编写的MULTI非线性拟合程序的扩展版本。原来的三个程序（包括高斯 - 牛顿和单纯形拟合算法）的功能已被合并，并在麦金塔计算机上翻译成FORTRAN 77语言，以提高速度和方便性。模型可以用积分方程形式或微分方程组来描述。也可以进行贝叶斯估计。增加了改进的数值积分例程，包括适用于“刚性”微分方程组的方法（费尔贝格的4/5龙格 - 库塔方法和吉尔的DIFSUB子程序）。MULTI - FORTE是一个用户友好的程序，它从键盘或磁盘文件获取数据，在屏幕、打印机或磁盘文件上以表格或打印式图表的形式生成输出。
