Dear all I try to run the code as follows, test.model<-nls(y~exp(A)*(x-PMA)^4+exp(B)*(x-PMA)^2+Const, data=test, start=list(A=8,B=5,Const=10,PMA=0), control=nls.control(maxiter = 50,minFactor=1/1048), trace=TRUE) But how can i build a selfSart, since i have much data ? Thanks for your help first! Vina
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Help: how can i build a constrained non-linear model?Date: Tue, 4 Sep 2007 07:53:41 +0000 DearI have a data.frame, and want to fit a constrained non-linear model:data: x y -0.08 20.815 -0.065 19.8128 -0.05 19.1824 -0.03 18.7346 -0.015 18.3129 0.015 18.0269 0.03 18.4715 0.05 18.9517 0.065 19.4184 0.08 20.146 0 18.2947model:y~exp(a)*(x-m)^4+exp(b)*(x-m)^2+const I try to use nls() and set start=list(a=1,b=1,c=1,m=1), but which always give me a error message that " Error in qr.solv(QR.B,cc): singular matrix 'a' in solve". How can i build a selfStart? or any suggestion! Thanks&Regards,Vina Invite your mail contacts to join your friends list with Windows Live Spaces. It's easy!
