Dec 9, 2014 at 1:06 comment added Glen_b Ben's approach seems very sensible. You might consider treating the experiment-effect as a random effect (random-intercept) in a mixed effects model.
Dec 8, 2014 at 23:05 comment added whuber Exactly what is this "relationship"? Is it supposed to be of the form $y=ax^2+bx+c$, $x=ay^2+by+c$, $ax^2+bxy+cy^2+dx+ey+f=0$, or perhaps something else? Which data values are subject to random variation?

Dec 8, 2014 at 22:07 comment added gbh. The relationship does not change and a random amount is added. I guess the question is if we can do better than a simple lstsq by somehow clustering data for similar experiments.
Dec 8, 2014 at 21:58 comment added Ben Kuhn In what way do you expect the experiments to alter $y$? Will it add a constant? Add a random amount? Change the relationship between $x$ and $y$?
