Hello All,

I cant seem to do a trig regression in R.

The equation is as follows : y = a+b*(sin((2*pi*x/360) - c))^2

a, b, c are coefs that I want.
y, x are input vectors.

The equation I put into R: lm(y ~ sin(2*pi*x/360)^2)
This equation is missing the c and I dont get the right answer.

Take a look at section 2.3 of:

http://www.statoek.wiso.uni-goettingen.de/veranstaltungen/zeitreihen/sommer03/ts_r_intro.pdf

Or consider using time series or nonlinear modeling.

Also, I dont know how to plot the lm over the x values instead of the
indices.

Without an example of your data and what you tried it is difficult to intuit what problems you may be facing.
