Re: [R] Estimate parameters differential equations system

If you can solve the system and the parameters are identifiable from the y component, then I would think that nls() can do it. However, beware unidentifiablity: If x stays constant at its equilibrium value of (er...) d1*c/(m+d1), then even knowing x won't allow you to tease out c, d1, and m; and

[R] Estimate parameters differential equations system

Dear R users, I am working on a simple mathematical model made of two ordinary differential equations: dx/dt=-mx-d1(x-c) dy/dt=mx-d2y I would like to fit this model to my data and estimate the corresponding parameters. The thing is I only have observed data for y, x is unknown. Is it poss
