nls and if statements
...is wrong, especially
given the error message I get that indicates I can't do this using an 'if'
statement.
Essentially, I have data where I think a relationship enters when a variable
(here Pwd) is below some value (z). I don't know that value, so I want to
fit it. The data is Pw, Tsoil, and Cfl.
nlstest=nls(if(Pw>z){Cfl~K*exp(-b*Pw)+c
}else{
Cfl~K*(exp(-a*Tsoil))*exp(-b*Pw)+c
},start=c(K=5.5, a=0.1, b=0.1, c=2, z=5))
Which returns the error:
Error in inherits(object, "formula") : object 'z' not found
Is there a better way to try and allow a conditional...
