Good morning Markus, Perhaps ?nls might be useful in this case. HTH, Jorge On Mon, Nov 30, 2009 at 7:19 AM, Markus Häge <> wrote: > Hello, > > the only thing I found to fit a sin/cos is s.th like lm(a~cos+sin) But > this is not what I want. > I have a magnitude which is sinusoidal with offset

[R] regression with a*cos(angle+phi)+b

Hello, the only thing I found to fit a sin/cos is s.th like lm(a~cos+sin) But this is not what I want. I have a magnitude which is sinusoidal with offset and it doesn't start at phi=0. The data is: angle<-c(0,10,20,30,40,50,60,70,80,90,100,110,120,130,140,150,160,170,180) Voltage<-c(-45.07, -45
