“…To monitor the nonlinear profiles, Woodall (2007) categorized approaches into four types: (1) applying multiple and polynomial regression (Zou et al, 2007;Kazemzadeh et al 2008;Mahmoud 2008); (2) applying nonlinear regression models (Ding et al, 2006;Williams et al, 2007;Shiau et al, 2009;Chang and Yadama 2010;Chen and Nembhard 2011); (3) use of mixed models (Jensen et al, 2008;Jensen and Birch, 2009;Qiu et al, 2010;Abdel-Salam, et al, 2013); and (4) use of wavelets (Reis and Saraiva, 2006;Zhou et al, 2006;Chicken et al, 2009). In this section, we will update recent developed methods according to these categories.…”
