Hello,

Tip: in a formula, pH^2 = pH*pH is an interaction.

pH^2 = pH*pH = pH + pH + pH:pH = pH

Try I(pH^2)

Hope this helps,

Dear friends - I'm on Win10 with R 6.3.1 and have a very simple problem with
nls which apparently gives a decent fit to the parable below, even without
starting values. But when I then think I know the meaning of the three
parameters a, b, and d it goes very wrong. I guess I am again overlooking
something easy but cannot spot it.
