[R] nls() fails on a simple exponential fit, when lm() gets it right?

2008-08-29 Thread Toby Marthews
Dear R-help, Here's a simple example of nonlinear curve fitting where nls seems to get the answer wrong on a very simple exponential fit (my R version 2.7.2). Look at this code below for a very basic curve fit using nls to fit to (a) a logarithmic and (b) an exponential curve. I did the fits usin

Hi, as mentioned in my previous posting, I run R on a linux machine. So a possible function for printing (in linux) could look like this: copy2lpr<-function(..., PRINTER="lpr") { LPR<-pipe(PRINTER,"w") capture.output(..., file=LPR) close(LPR) } This seems to work... An allows the user to c
