Re: [R] It is possible to use "input parameters" with "standard error" in fitting function nls

Dear all, I found the solution to my question on internet: https://www.r-bloggers.com/introducing-propagate/ The ‘propagate’ package on CRAN can do this It has one single purpose: propagation of uncertainties (“error propagation”). predictNLS: The propagate function is used to calculate the pro

Unless there is good reason to do otherwise, you should cc the list to allow others to provide perhaps better responses or to correct my possible errors. I have done so here. If your "parameter" is fixed in the modeling it cannot contribute to the uncertainty of estimation of the remaining model p

Vicente: You have not received a reply. I think it is because your post appears to reveal a profound lack of understanding about how empirical modeling works: the uncertainty in parameter estimates derives from the uncertainty in the data (via the modeling process, of course). You cannot set them

[R] It is possible to use "input parameters" with "standard error" in fitting function nls

2016-08-03 Thread Vicente Martí Centelles
Dear all, I would like to introduce an input parameter with an associated standard error to perform a fitting using the nls function (or any similar function): parameter1 = 9.00 +/- 0.20 (parameter 1 has a value of 9.00 and standard error of 0.20) fittingResults <- nls(y ~ function(xdata, ydata
