Dear All, I was trying to call a self-defined function that performs nonlinear regression and gets the corresponding prediction upper limit using nls2 package. However, weird thing happened. When I called the function in the main program, an error message "fitted(nlsmodel): object 'nlsmodel' not found" came up. But when I directly ran the codes inside the function, no error came up and the codes worked well. I have never encountered this problem with all the other self-defined functions, only this one, so I doubt it is caused by something in the nls2 package.
I attached my main program and the function as follows. Thank you all in advance. # Main program rm(list=ls()) x <- c(0,1,3,4,5,2,10,4,6,8,7) y <- seq(0,10,1) ftestnls(x,y) # Call the function # function 'ftestnls(v1,v2)' # v1 <- x # v2 <- y ftestnls <- function(v1,v2){ datalist <- list(v1=v1,v2=v2) startvalues <- list(a0=v1[1],a1=0,a2=0) # Perform nonlinear regression require(nls2) nlsmodel <- nls(v1~a0 + a1*v2 + a2 *sin(2*pi*v2/365.25),data=datalist,start=startvalues, trace=TRUE) # Fitted data and prediction interval fitted <- predict(as.lm(nlsmodel),se.fit=TRUE,interval="confidence",level=0.95) uplim <- fitted$fit[,3] return(uplim) } -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Need-help-with-self-defined-function-to-perform-nonlinear-regression-and-get-prediction-interval-tp4654430.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
