similar to: nlsList{nlme} control of min and max parameter bounds?

Hi Rick Thanks to Dieter Menne I did manage to solve the problem of imposing bounds on the parameter space duirng an nlsList fit. He suggested using optim to optimize the parameters prior to each fit. This worked well for me as I had a customized selfStart function that then optimized the parameters for each individual separately. if you rewrote your selfStart function as: powrDpltInit <-

Dear listers, I am trying to fit a model using nlsList() using alternately a SSfol() selfstart function or its developped equivalent formulae. This preliminary trial works well mydata<-groupedData(Conc~Tps|Organ,data=mydata) mymod1<-nls(Conc~SSfol(Dose,Tps,lKe,lKa,lCl),data=mydata) as well as a developped form: mymod2<-nls(Conc~Dose * exp(lKe+lKa-lCl) *

Hello, nls-users, is it possible to pass additional parameters to the model function that are known and groupwise constant with nlsList? I could not find something like a "keep this fixed" option in the documentation and the code (my fault...?) The current workaround is to break the problem down into groups and use globals to pass the constant parameters, but it is ugly code and

Hello all. I was wondering if the logLike.nls() and logLike.nlme() functions are still being used. Neither function seems to be available in the most recent release of R (1.9.1). The following is contained in the help file for logLik(): "classes which already have methods for this function include: 'glm', 'lm', 'nls' and 'gls', 'lme' and others in

Hi All. I'm trying to run nlsList an getting an error that makes no sense to me. I have accuracy and reaction time data over many trials for each person (id) When I use nlsList code that is virtually identical to the example in the doc file I get the following error. I've tried everything I could think of and can't get around it. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? **************

Hi All. I'd like to send some control arguments to the nls function when performing a nlsList analysis. I'm fitting a power model to some grouped data and would like to impose lower bounds on the estimates using the "port" algorithm. Obtaining the lower bound constraint works fine with a direct call to nls for a single level of the grouping variable. ?However, the bounds

Hello together, Is there a tool to test the statistical differences between parameter estimates of a nlsList fit? I fitted degradation data using the nlsList method and want to find out whether derived rate constants are significantly different from each other at the grouping factors soil and temperature. Regards Frank Scherr

Dear R-helpers, I'm using R 2.5.0 under Windows and am trying to use nlsList from nlme 3.1-80 with the selfstart function for the four parametric logistic function. My first test went well, but now I'm trying to do some more sophisticated things and it does not work anymore. I simulate my data from a five parametric logistic function like this:

Dear R users, Does anybody have a function to calculate logLik or AIC for nlsList objects? After receiving error messages, another user helped me ascertain that this function is not currently written into R. Many thanks Lindsay

Dear all, is there a way to extract the individual variance-covariance matrix of the parameter estimates of the i-th individual using nlsList ?

A few days ago I posted a question to this discussion group concerning to origin of an error message < subscript out of bounds > while using the nonlinear mixed model (nlme) function in R with a self-starting function. Thanks for those who responded. This posting is to explain what (I think) it causing the error. Pinheiro & Bates (2000, pages 342-347) describe how to construct a

I am not certain how nlme works so I followed an example from the web ( http://www.menne-biomed.de/gastempt/gastempt1.html). I was able to successfully reproduce the example. However, when I modified my the example to use my data and with my formula, I get a set of errors having to do with the log() function. I get 10 of them (all exactly the same) and there are 10 levels in my factor variable.

DeaR I am trying to use a dynamically create formula with nlsList and nlme, but I cannot get the environment of the string-generated formal to work similarly to the manually entered one. Any idea?

I hope that the mailing list is the correct forum for the question below. I have trouble calling functions nlsList and nlme from another function. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have a need to call and pass arguments to nlme() from within another function. I use R version 1.8. I have found an apparent way to make this work, but I would appreciate some comments on whether this fix is really appropriate, or there is another way to do it that does not involve changing the source code. I don't have enough experience to start changing the sorurce code of a library

I can install R with sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install r-base this is not my problem, and indeed, not my question. my question was how could I share the resulting R installation over NFS? Do I have to export every location where apt-get installs a component or can I force apt-get to place the installation in a certain location? On 8 November 2017 at 17:37, Ista Zahn <istazahn at

Hello, I'm having problems creating and using a selfStart model with nlme. Briefly, I've defined the model, a selfStart object, and then combined them to make a selfStart.default model. If I apply getInitial to the selfStart model, I get results. However, if I try usint it with nls or nlsList, these routines complain about a lack of initial conditions. If someone could point out

Howdee, I am able to fit a 4-parameter logistic growth curve to a dataset which comprise many individuals (using R v. 2.3.1). Yet, if I want to obtain the parameters for each individual (i.e., for each 'id') using nlsList, then I obtain an Error message which I have trouble interpreting. Any advice as to how I can solve this problem? Thanks for your time, Marc > reg <-nls(mass ~

Hi list, In the object returned by summary.nlsList, what's the difference between "coefficients" and "parameters"? The have the same "Estimate", different se (therefore t value), but same p values.
