R help - Mar 2011 - Gnuplot fit function in R

Hi there,

I'm new to R, coming from gnuplot for the plotting facility...

I'm just wondering if there is a equivalent to the fit function of gnuplot
in R?

If not, s there any good resource on fitting gaussians into a curve?

greetings,

Stefan

  Try

 ?nls
 ?predict.nls

The nls function does nonlinear least squares fits.
