Don't know as I can help much, but a few questions occur to mind. It strikes me that there may be some constraints on the system that you haven't mentioned. For example: 1. Are features L and R mutually exclusive, so that if L is found at position i, R cannot be found at that positio

2000-06-15 Thread Donald Burrill
1-b*exp(-c*t) is negative only if b*exp(-c*t) > 1, which implies log(b) > c*t, I think. Is this a reasonable circumstance in terms of the theory that led to the Richards growth curve? You say this occurs frequently in your data; since b and c are presumably constants for a given data set
