Bivariate normal equal-probability curve...
Good morning and I appreciate the availability of a help-list. I am a professional hydrologist, but not a professional statistician. Yet I find myself using statistical tools at least part of the time. My discovery of the R-project through a friend has been most helpful. Here is my problem: I'm tasked with fitting a dataset comprising correlated discharges from adjacent watershed...

singular gradient error in nls
...l.m*b2)/(theta*(0.16-b)))))), data = df, start=list (a=1, b=0.5), trace=TRUE) ----- I am likely "over parameterizing", but I must admit, that I am not entirely sure what that means. Any help offered would be greatly appreciated. I am sorry if I sound naive, but I am an ecologist, not a hydrologist. Kate [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Thornthwaite Method in R
...have used the following code to calculate monthly evaporation but what I need is daily evapotranspiration. Epot <- thornthwaite(Tave, lat, na.rm = FALSE) # Evaluates evapotranspiration for each month. Do you have any code which works for daily timestep ? Its more technical question, may be some hydrologist has gone across it already.

Finding center of mass in a hydrologic time series
The small bit of script below is an example of what I'm attempting to do - find the day on which the 'center of mass' occurs. In case that is the wrong term, I'd like to know the day that essentially cuts the area under the curve in to two equal parts: set.seed(4004) Date <- seq(as.Date('2000-09-01'), as.Date('2000-09-30'), by='day') hyd <-
