Six parameters are estimatable: dV Vb, dV/dE, K,
,
g and
,
or functions of these
(compound) parameters. Knowledge about the values of X can be used
in this case to obtain K and f; this is because the relationship
between
Wb = (dV + f dE) Vb and X has three parameters, K,
dV Vb and dE Vb, and we have three observations.
