Abstract: In commenting on a paper by Oliver (1970), Michelini (1972) suggested the use of Fisher's method of scoring in preference to Taylor series linearization as an iterative procedure for estimating the parameters of an exponential regression function. This note points out that in the context of nonlinear regression the two procedures are in fact identical. They are contrasted with the Newton–Raphson method.
