Re: [R] Lower bounds on selfStart function not working

I was able to solve this problem by going back to nls and obtaining the initial parameter estimates through optim. When I used nlsList with my dataset, it took 2 minutes to solve and was not limited by the bounds. Now I have the bounds working and it takes 45 seconds to solve. Here is the new
