A nonlinear least-squares (NLLS) method for analyzing three-component Rayleigh fringe position data for diffusion, described briefly in previous papers, is extended here to four-component data. By a simple transformation of equations for the Gouy method, an analogous NLLS procedure can be applied directly to three- and four-component Gouy fringe position data. The only complication is that the Gouy NLLS is subjected to a condition equation. Results are given for the free-diffusion case, but the procedure can be extended to other boundary conditions.
