parameterization of gnls model
...o statistically test the influence of several vegetation
parameters. The gnls() function in the nlme library seems well-suited for
fitting this model, but I am having trouble getting it to converge, even
without the autocorrelation structure. Here is the model I'd like to fit:
th=eh*((1+theta/thetaref)/(theta/thetaref))^(1/n), where th=true height
(dependent variable); eh=estimated height (independent variable); theta is
local incidence angle (independent variable); thetaref is fixed; n is the
parameter to be estimated. My question is: is this parameterization
efficient for gnls()? I've...
