Fitting a model to an experimental spectrum is a difficult nonlinear estimation problem. The solution presented here is to start an iterative search procedure sufficiently close to the optimal model parameter set. This is achieved by providing tissue‐dependent a priori peak information and by a novel correlation method to get good primary estimates of the resonance and phase offset parameters. The resulting estimation procedure is fully automatic and has proven to be robust for 31 P data. © 1991 Academic Press, Inc.
