nls, convergence and starting values
...model. This has worked OK for almost all the other data sets except that one (dumped below). Whatever our trials and algorithms, even subsetting data (to check if some singular point was the cause of the mess), we do not reach convergence... or screw up with singular gradients (?) etc... eg: nls(pourcma~SSlogis(transat, Asym, xmid, scal), start=c(Asym=30, xmid=0.07, scal=0.02),data=bdd, weights=sqrt(nbfeces),trace=T,alg="plinear") As anyone a hint about an alternate approach to fit a model ? Or an idea to get evidence that such model cannot be fitted to the data.... bdd <- structur...

...alculation of starting values and relatively robust optimization, which can be used with success in many common cases of nonlinear regression, also for your data: library(drc)  # on CRAN ## Fitting 3-parameter logistic model ## (slightly different parameterization from SSlogis()) bdd.m1 <- drm(pourcma~transat, weights=sqrt(nbfeces), data=bdd, fct=L.3()) plot(bdd.m1, broken=TRUE, conLevel=0.0001) summary(bdd.m1) Of course, standard errors are huge as the data do not really support this model (as already pointed out by other replies to this post).
