Hi list, i see this question is quiet a regular feature, but searching the past instances i could not find an answer to my specific problem.
Simply, trying to optimize this model gives a singular gradient problem -- tough optim() seems to be able to solve it would like to do these things in nls(). Treated<-Puromycin[Puromycin$state=="treated",] weighted.MM<-function(resp,conc,K){ pred<-K[1]+(1-exp(K[2]))*conc (resp-pred) } Pur.wt<-nls(~weighted.MM(rate,conc,K),data=Treated,start=list(K=c(0,0.1))) Please advise, Best, -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/nls-singular-gradient-problem-tp3939939p3939939.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
