Readers,
I am having difficulty understanding how to enter commands into r.
I have data arranged as:
100, 200, 300
5.6, 6.7, 7.8
8.9, 9.0, 0.1
1.2, 2.3, 3.4
The data is saved in csv format and I use the command 'read.table' to
import into r.
The values 5.6...3.4 are a function of values 100,...300, i.e.
100,...300 are independent variables (x). The function is a power
series:
y=a+bx+cx^2
How do I obtain the values of a,b,c by minimisation of the sum of
squares of deviations?
So far looking at the documentation 'r-intro' section 10, I tried the following:
functionname<-function(a,b,c){
+ a<-sum(a)
+ b<-sum(b)
+ c<-sum(c)
+ y<-(a+bx+cx^2)
+ x<-(x)
+ }
The documentation states: "...using a call such as...". What does this mean?
Yours,
