Provided, of course, that I alter the lines for different data sets

plot works with no problems.

Here's an example:

Year NOP
2002   6
2003   8
2004  11
2005  19
2006  26
2007  25

mod1<- nls(NOP~alpha*exp(beta*Year), data=aic,
start=list(alpha=1e-278, beta=0.3205), trace=T,
nls.control(maxiter=30000, minFactor=0.000005))
plot(NOP~Year, data=aic, pch=19, ylab="Number of papers")
mod1a=seq(2002, 2007, by=.0001)
lines(mod1a, predict(mod1, list(Year = mod1a)))

Yes, but here's what you posted as your 'last line of code':

 lines(modb, predict(nls.2009, lines(as.numeric(x)=modb)))

Perhaps just a typo: lines -> list???
In any case, the newdata in predict should have a variable 'Year'.

I've been using this code for several years not to get models from
nls() onto plot and I've never had an issue with it until the dataset
I referenced in my initial email.

Thanks for your assistance.

After converting my dates into R-usable dates:

#convert my dates to R-usable dates
x<- strptime(date, format="%m/%d/%Y")
x
mileage<- cbind(mileage, x)

I plot the data and model mpg as a function of date.  In the nls()
statement, I convert x back to a numeric value so that I can conduct
the regression:

plot(mpg~x, data=mileage[year==2009,], ylab="Miles per gallon",
xlab="2009", yaxs="i", ylim=c(10,30))
nls.2009<-
nls(mpg~(alpha*(as.numeric(x)^2))+(bravo*as.numeric(x))+(charlie),
data=mileage[year==2009,], start=list(alpha=-2e-14, bravo=5e-5,
charlie=-31407),
   trace=T, na.action=na.omit,
nls.control(minFactor=0.000000000000000000001))
plot(mpg~x, data=mileage[year==2009,])
   modb=seq(min(as.numeric(x)), max(as.numeric(x)), by=10000)
   lines(modb, predict(nls.2009, lines(as.numeric(x)=modb)))

Unfortunately, when I run the final line of this code, I get the
following:

Error: unexpected '=' in "  lines(modb, predict(nls.2009,
lines(as.numeric(x)="

In other similar analyses, I've been able to plot an nls() model using
this exact code--altered of course according to information--but here
I'm at a loss.  I'm certain it has something to do with the
lines(...as.numeric(x)) value I'm trying to plot, but I can't figure
out what I'm doing wrong.

That last line of code doesn't look right to me. The arguments
that you need to supply to predict() are 'object' and 'newdata',
where 'newdata' must have the appropriate form. Unless you have
your own function lines(), I don't think that lines(as.numeric(x)=modb)
would qualify as newdata.

It's usually a bad idea to shove too much stuff into a single command
and a good idea to use str() often.

This 'exact' code worked in the past?

Peter Ehlers


The model is fine, but it's the plotting of the model that escapes me.

I'm running R version 2.12.1 on a Windows 7 machine.
