similar to: Bug in Deriv? (PR#1119)

Hello, I am wondering if someone can help me. I have the following function that I derived using nls() SSlogis. I would like to find its derivative. I thought I had done this using deriv(), but for some reason this isn't working out for me. Here is the function: asym <- 84.951 xmid <- 66.90742 scal <- -6.3 x.seq <- seq(1, 153,, 153) nls.fn <- asym/((1+exp((xmid-x.seq)/scal)))

Hi R help, I am trying to determine how nls() generates a function based on the self-starting SSlogis and what the formula for the function would be. I've scoured the help site, and other literature to try and figure this out but I still am unsure if I am correct in what I am coming up with. ************************************************************************** dat <-

Hi, I would like to be able to access the calculated results from the nls package. Using the example in R, fm3DNase1 we can reurn certain parts of the calculations: > coef(fm3DNase1) Asym xmid scal 2.345179 1.483089 1.041454 > resid(fm3DNase1) [1] -0.0136806237 -0.0126806237 0.0089488569 0.0119488569 -0.0025803222 [6] 0.0064196778 0.0026723396 -0.0003276604

Hi folks, I am tearing my hair out on this one. I am using an example from Pinheiro and Bates. ### this works data(Orange) mod.lis <- nlsList(circumference ~ SSlogis(age, Asymp, xmid, scal), data=Orange ) ### This works mod <- nlme(circumference ~ SSlogis(age, Asymp, xmid, scal), data=Orange, fixed = Asymp + xmid + scal ~ 1, start =

How to set the nlme() function to return the answer without the intercept parametrization? #========================================================================================= library(nlme) Soybean[1:3, ] (fm1Soy.lis <- nlsList(weight ~ SSlogis(Time, Asym, xmid, scal),                        data = Soybean)) (fm1Soy.nlme <- nlme(fm1Soy.lis)) fm2Soy.nlme <- update(fm1Soy.nlme,

Could someone explain the meaming of this error message from augPred: > augPred(area3.pen.nlme, primary=~day) Error in predict.nlme(object, value[1:(nrow(value)/nL), , drop = FALSE], : Levels 1,2,3 not allowed for block > predict.nlme(area3.pen.nlme) does not produce an error. area3.pen.nlme was created with: > area3.pen.nlme <- nlme(area ~ SSlogis(day, Asym, xmid, scal),

Hello, How do I specify the formula and random effects without a startup object ? I thought it would be a mixture of nls and lme. after trying very hard, I ask for help on using nlme. Can someone hint me to some examples? I constructed a try using the example from nls: #variables are density, conc and Run #all works fine with nls DNase1 <- subset(DNase, Run == 1 ) fm2DNase1 <- nls(

Hi! When checking validity of a model for a large number of experimental data I thought it to be interesting to check the information provided by the summary method programmatically. Still I could not find out which method to use to get to those data. Example (not my real world data, but to show the point): [BEGIN] > DNase1 <- subset(DNase, Run == 1) > fm1DNase1 <- nls(density ~

Hi I want to change a control parameter for an nls () as I am getting an error message "step factor 0.000488281 reduced below 'minFactor' of 0.000976562". Despite all tries, it seems that the control parameter of the nls, does not seem to get handed down to the function itself, or the error message is using a different one. Below system info and an example highlighting the

Hello, nls library provides 6 self-starting models, among them: SSfp, a four parameters logistic function. Its self-starting procedure involves several steps. One of these steps is: pars <- as.vector(coef(nls(y ~ cbind(1, 1/(1 + exp((xmid - x)/exp(lscal)))), data = xydata, start = list(lscal = 0), algorithm = "plinear"))) which assumes an initial value of lscal equal to 0. If lscal

Dear all, I am trying to fit a non linear regression model to time series data. If I do this: reg.logis = nls(myVar~SSlogis(myTime,Asym,xmid,scal)) I get this error message (translated to English from French): Erreur in nls(y ~ 1/(1 + exp((xmid - x)/scal)), data = xy, start = list(xmid = aux[1], : le pas 0.000488281 became inferior to 'minFactor' of 0.000976562 I then tried to set

This works fine: fit42<-nls(Vfs~SSlogis(Months,Asym.Int+Asym.Group*Groupdum,xmid,scal), data=df, start=c(Asym.Int=22,Asym.Group=5,xmid=2,scal=6), na.action=na.omit) But this, identical except using gnls, doesn't converge: fit43<-gnls(Vfs~SSlogis(Months,Asym.Int+Asym.Group*Groupdum,xmid,scal), data=df, start=c(Asym.Int=22,Asym.Group=5,xmid=2,scal=6), na.action=na.omit) Error in gnls(Vfs

Hi, I guess this is a final plea, and maybe this should go to R-help but here goes. I am writing a set of functions for calibration and prediction, and to calculate standard errors and intervals I need the variance function to be evaluated at new prediction points. So for instance fit<-gnls(Y~SSlogis(foo,Asym,xmid,scal),weights=varPower())

Dear listers, As an exercise, I am trying to fit a logistic model with nlme. Blue tit pulli (youngs) were weighted occasionnally (for field reasons) along time in 17 nestboxes. Individuals where not idenfied but their age was known. This means that for a given age several measurements were done but individuals could not be identified from a time to the other. This makes repeated values for

Dear Mixed Effect Friends, Somehow, R(1021, Windows) seem to run differently from S Plus: The soybean example from Pinheiro/Bates on page 290 fails in R. (Soybean1 is Soybean with the NA and "critical" case removed. Same procedure with full Soybean). > fm1Soy.lis<-nlsList(weight~SSlogis(Time,Asym,xmid,scal),data=Soybean1) > fm1Soy.nlme<-nlme(fm1Soy.lis) Error: Singularity

"in non linear modelling finding appropriate starting values is something like an art"... (maybe from somewhere in Crawley , 2007) Here a colleague and I just want to compare different response models to a null 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

Mmmh, seems as if I really should change my options as I seem to keep sending off empty bug-reports ;-/ Sorry guys. Here is the content that should have been in the last e-mail: `R CMD check nlme' fails on my machine. The final output in nlme-Ex.Rout is: > library(nlme) > data(Soybean) > fm1 <- nlme(weight ~ SSlogis(Time, Asym, xmid, scal), data = Soybean, + fixed =

Dear all, I am studying a bit the various support functions that exist for extracting information from fitted model objects. From the help files it is not completely clear to me whether the number returned by nobs() should be the same as the "nobs" attribute of the object returned by logLik(). If so, then there is a slight inconsistency in the methods for 'nls' objects with
