[R] Pakcage for fitting data into an arbitrary nonlinear func tion
Your question is too vague. Do you want to fit functions of one variable, or several variables? Do you need the function to have explicit form, or would you be happy with sort of `black box'? R itself has facilities to fit smooth functions of one variable (e.g., smooth.spline(), loess(), etc.) Many packages can fit smooth functions of several variables (e.g., mgcv, locfit, mda, gss, nnet [part of the VR bundle], rpart, tree, or even gbm and randomForest).
