nls() newbie convergence problem
...b0+b1*x1 + b2*x2 parms <- abs(b1*b2)^(1/3) (y-pred)/parms } Fit the model gmfit < -nls(~weight(y,x1,x2,b0,b1,b2), observe,list("starting value")) in converting this to R, I left the weight function alone and replaced the nls() with gmfit <- nls(~weight(y,x1,x2,b0,b1,b2),data=dydata,trace=TRUE,start=list(b0=1,b1=1,b2=1)) where dydata is the appropriate data.frame. nls() quickly (6 iterations) finds the exact values from Draper & Yang for b0, b1, and b2 but despite reporting a discrepancy of only 3.760596e-29 by the 7th iteration, it merrily goes on to 50 iterations and t...
