How does one program an algorithm that estimates the concavity of a Cumulative Accuracy Profile (CAP) curve? I wish to fit a model for y using the function:

y = [1- exp(-kx)]/[1-exp(-k)]

where k is my parameter of interest and is obtained by minimizing a root mean square  error (RMSE) of the form:


e = sqrt{(1/N)*summation i to n of [y_i - [1- exp(-kx_i)]/[1-exp(-k)]]^2}.


The RMSE is minimized by applying a Newton-Raphson procedure using the following iteration (i=1,2... 20):


k_i+1 = k_i - [(de/dk)/(d2e/dk2)]     (ratio of derivatives)


Any help will be greatly appreciated as I am really at a loss when it comes to programming. >__<

Thanks in advance!


Warm regards,

Mika
