Hi,
I tried to use nls() to fit a complex-valued (non linear) function that
looks like this:
y = A + B / (1 + C * (i*x*D)^E)
where x is the real-valued independent variable, A,B,C,D,E are
real-valued parameters and i is the imaginary unit.
I had the followin error (my translation into english):
"Error in numericDeriv(form[[3L]], names(ind), env) :
missing value or infinity generated during model calculation"
And a lot of warnings (my translation into english):
"In numericDeriv(form[[3L]], names(ind), env) :
imaginary parts removed during the conversion"
If I got it right R is non able to handle regression problems on
complex-valueed function, correct?
If yes, is there some workaround?
For example using MSExcel I fit the real and imaginary parts separately,
and than I minimize the sum of the SSE using the solver function.
Quite rude, but it works...
thank you for your help
Andrea
