Janice, I'll start by saying I can't help you as I have never used nls() myself and I am not familiar with this type of analysis. Why do you think that nls() "doesn't work"? It is a widely used part of R and thus probably very well tested. My understanding of these things is that nls is a sophisticated tool that requires some effort on the part of the user, such as selecting appropriate starting values. You are unlikely to get any further assistance from the list unless you read the posting guide and post an example of what you did (preferably with the actual data or dummy data with the same properties if not) and the exact error message or output from R that lead you to believe that nls() did not work.
