Hi all, I solved my problem: The reason for the error was that my initial values were not correctly chosen. In the previous code: nlme.model001epr <- nlme(result ~ A0 * exp(- ( exp(A1) * exp(-Ea / (0.0083144*TEMP.K)) * exp(eps)) * time), data = Parameterg, fixed=list(A0+Ea~1,A1~Process), random=eps~1, start=c(93, 92, 34.5,*37,34*), control=list(msVerbose=TRUE, maxIter = 200), verbose=TRUE, method="REML", na.action=na.pass) I have to use smaller values for the bold numbers: e.g. start=c(93, 92, 34.5,*0.5,0.6*),
Probably because the additional parameters are calculated based on what should be added.
