similar to: nlsList - Error in !unlist(lapply(coefs, is.null))

Dear R-helpers, I'm using R 2.5.0 under Windows and am trying to use nlsList from nlme 3.1-80 with the selfstart function for the four parametric logistic function. My first test went well, but now I'm trying to do some more sophisticated things and it does not work anymore. I simulate my data from a five parametric logistic function like this:

Dear listers, I am trying to fit a model using nlsList() using alternately a SSfol() selfstart function or its developped equivalent formulae. This preliminary trial works well mydata<-groupedData(Conc~Tps|Organ,data=mydata) mymod1<-nls(Conc~SSfol(Dose,Tps,lKe,lKa,lCl),data=mydata) as well as a developped form: mymod2<-nls(Conc~Dose * exp(lKe+lKa-lCl) *

Hi I am using nlsList from the nlme package to estimate group specific coefficient sets to get a first impression of the structure of coefficients in relation to potential predictor variables. In some cases I got coefficients in other there are conversion problems due to bad start values I guess, resulting in typical error messages as known from nls: Error in nls(formula = formula, data = data,

Dear R users, Does anybody have a function to calculate logLik or AIC for nlsList objects? After receiving error messages, another user helped me ascertain that this function is not currently written into R. Many thanks Lindsay

DeaR I am trying to use a dynamically create formula with nlsList and nlme, but I cannot get the environment of the string-generated formal to work similarly to the manually entered one. Any idea?

I hope that the mailing list is the correct forum for the question below. I have trouble calling functions nlsList and nlme from another function. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi All. I'm trying to run nlsList an getting an error that makes no sense to me. I have accuracy and reaction time data over many trials for each person (id) When I use nlsList code that is virtually identical to the example in the doc file I get the following error. I've tried everything I could think of and can't get around it. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? **************

Dear all, is there a way to extract the individual variance-covariance matrix of the parameter estimates of the i-th individual using nlsList ?

Hello, nls-users, is it possible to pass additional parameters to the model function that are known and groupwise constant with nlsList? I could not find something like a "keep this fixed" option in the documentation and the code (my fault...?) The current workaround is to break the problem down into groups and use globals to pass the constant parameters, but it is ugly code and

Hello together, Is there a tool to test the statistical differences between parameter estimates of a nlsList fit? I fitted degradation data using the nlsList method and want to find out whether derived rate constants are significantly different from each other at the grouping factors soil and temperature. Regards Frank Scherr

Hi list, In the object returned by summary.nlsList, what's the difference between "coefficients" and "parameters"? The have the same "Estimate", different se (therefore t value), but same p values.

Hi All I'm analysing growth rates using a gompertz (logistic) curve and am attempting to fit parameters for all of my study birds using nlsList. I've been looking for an option in nlsList to set min and max limits for parameter values during estimation, although I have failed to find any under 'control'. Other users seem to have reported that using control in the port algorithm

Hi All. I'd like to send some control arguments to the nls function when performing a nlsList analysis. I'm fitting a power model to some grouped data and would like to impose lower bounds on the estimates using the "port" algorithm. Obtaining the lower bound constraint works fine with a direct call to nls for a single level of the grouping variable. ?However, the bounds

Hi Rick Thanks to Dieter Menne I did manage to solve the problem of imposing bounds on the parameter space duirng an nlsList fit. He suggested using optim to optimize the parameters prior to each fit. This worked well for me as I had a customized selfStart function that then optimized the parameters for each individual separately. if you rewrote your selfStart function as: powrDpltInit <-

Hello all. I was wondering if the logLike.nls() and logLike.nlme() functions are still being used. Neither function seems to be available in the most recent release of R (1.9.1). The following is contained in the help file for logLik(): "classes which already have methods for this function include: 'glm', 'lm', 'nls' and 'gls', 'lme' and others in

Hello, nls library provides 6 self-starting models, among them: SSfp, a four parameters logistic function. Its self-starting procedure involves several steps. One of these steps is: pars <- as.vector(coef(nls(y ~ cbind(1, 1/(1 + exp((xmid - x)/exp(lscal)))), data = xydata, start = list(lscal = 0), algorithm = "plinear"))) which assumes an initial value of lscal equal to 0. If lscal

Greetings, I would like to calculate tolerancelimits for a series of predicted values from nonlinear regression models. I've been using the tolerance package but the self-starting functions are not in the derivitive tables. When I spellout the functions and supply starting values I repeatedly get an error message regardless of the starting values I use (see output below). Does anyone

Hi, I am trying to fit a 4-parameter logistic model to my gradient data using nls. I tried to specify the model directly in the nls formula and also tried to use the self-start function SSfpl. For the following data, the first method worked, but the second didn't. I thought both ways were equivalent, can anyone tells me why? >

Hi, this following problem is a S-Plus problem, I know many guys here are also experts in S-plus, so I am posting here, too. Thanks I encountered a weird problem of fitting nls inside a loop, it works well in R, but not in S-plus. The code is: >

Dear list, I am confused about two functions in R: AIC(fm) and extractAIC(fm). What is the difference between two and when do I have to use one over the other? I have found the similar question previously and still not clear for me to understand. I also looked at '?AIC' and '?extractAIC' in R, which is also unclear. I pasted faked data set, fitting summary, and AICs. Thank
