Re: [R] Finding starting values for the parameters using nls() or nls2()

2016-10-09 Thread ProfJCNash
Despite nlmrt "solving" the OP's problem, I think Gabor's suggestion likely gives a more sensible approach to the underlying modelling problem. It is, of course, sometimes important to fit a particular model, in which case nls2 and nlmrt are set up to grind away. And hopefully the follow-up to n

If you are not tied to that model the SSasymp() model in R could be considered and is easy to fit: # to plot points in order o <- order(cl$Area) cl.o <- cl[o, ] fm <- nls(Retention ~ SSasymp(Area, Asym, R0, lrc), cl.o) summary(fm) plot(Retention ~ Area, cl.o) lines(fi

I didn't try very hard, but got a solution from .1, 1, .1 with nlxb() from nlmrt. It took a lot of iterations and looks to be pretty ill-conditioned. Note nlmrt uses analytic derivatives if it can, and a Marquardt method. It is designed to be a pit bull -- tenacious, not fast. I'm working on a

Here are some things to try. Maybe divide Area by 1000 and retention by 100. Try plotting the data and superimposing the line that corresponds to the 'fit' from nls2. See if you can correct it with some careful guesses. Getting suitable starting parameters for non-linear modeling is one of the

There is no perfect way to do this because you can write functions that depend on the order of evaluation of their arguments or that must evaluate some code in the body of the function before evaluating an argument (e.g., stats:::print.formula) or that don't evaluate them in the usual sense. Howev
