Hi R users, I am a new user, still learning basics of R. Is there anyway to extract y (or x) value for a known x (or y) value from ecdf (empirical cumulative distribution function) curve? Thanks in advance. Mano. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

https://cran.r-project.org/web/views/Optimization.html (Cran's optimization task view -- as always, you should search before posting) In general, nonlinear optimization with nonlinear constraints is hard, and the strategy used here (multiplying by a*b < 1000) may not work -- it introduces a discontinuity into the objective function, so gradient based methods may in particular be

I ran the following script. I satisfied the constraint by making a*b a single parameter, which isn't always possible. I also ran nlxb() from nlsr package, and this gives singular values of the Jacobian. In the unconstrained case, the svs are pretty awful, and I wouldn't trust the results as a model, though the minimum is probably OK. The constrained result has a much larger sum of squares.

I am not as expert as John, but I thought it worth pointing out that the variable substitution technique gives up one set of constraints for another (b=0 in this case). I also find that plots help me see what is going on, so here is my reproducible example (note inclusion of library calls for completeness). Note that NONE of the optimizers mentioned so far appear to be finding the true best

I am using nlsLM {minpack.lm} to find the values of parameters a and b of function myfun which give the best fit for the data set, mydata. mydata=data.frame(x=c(0,5,9,13,17,20),y = c(0,11,20,29,38,45)) myfun=function(a,b,r,t){ prd=a*b*(1-exp(-b*r*t)) return(prd)} and using nlsLM myfit=nlsLM(y~myfun(a,b,r=2,t=x),data=mydata,start=list(a=2000,b=0.05), lower = c(1000,0),

I've seen a number of problems like this over the years. The fact that the singular values of the Jacobian have a ration larger than the usual convergence tolerances can mean the codes stop well before the best fit. That is the "numerical analyst" view. David and Jeff have given geometric and statistical arguments. All views are useful, but it takes some time to sort them all out and
