Hi, I looked for the nls() function and couldn't find it. In the refman.pdf it's mentioned as part of the nls package which I cannot find and I also read something about the MASS package, also impossible to find for me.

Dear Kris, Try typing "library(nls)" and "library(MASS)" at the R prompt. nls and MASS should be part of your R installation (assuming you are using a relatively recent R version). You can find more answers to these questions in the FAQ (5.1 shows the packages which are part of the standard distribution and 5.3 explains, among others, how to load packages). You might also want to read R-intro ("An introduction to R") and/or some of the other into docs available from the web page. Hope this helps.

Do library(nls) library(MASS) not work? If so your R installation is incomplete or corrupt. Please take this up with your local sysadmin.
