Hello all,

I'm trying to use confint from the MASS package to compute confidence
intervals for an nls object. When I plot the results, however, they don't
make sense - lines cross over the fitted model or just don't match the
data. Code is :

Thanks for help

dat<-data.frame(a,b)
with(dat, plot(a,b))
model<-(nls(b~(1/exp(a*x))*n, data=dat, start=list(x=.001,n=20),
na.action="na.omit"))
with(dat, plot(a,b))
x1<-summary(model)$coefficients[1,1]
n1<-summary(model)$coefficients[2,1]
lines((1/exp(c(0:30)*x1)*n1))
int<-MASS:::confint.nls(model)
lines((1/exp(c(0:30)*int[1,1])*int[2,1]),lty=2)
lines((1/exp(c(0:30)*int[2,1])*int[2,2]),lty=2)
