similar to: Does AIC() applied to a nls() object use the correctnumber of estimated parameters?

I'm wondering whether AIC scores extracted from nls() objects using AIC() are based on the correct number of estimated parameters. Using the example under nls() documentation: > data( DNase ) > DNase1 <- DNase[ DNase$Run == 1, ] > ## using a selfStart model > fm1DNase1 <- nls( density ~ SSlogis( log(conc), Asym, xmid, scal ), DNase1 ) Using AIC() function: >

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 ~

Dear all, I encounter some discrepancies when comparing the deviance of a weighted and unweigthed model with the AIC values. A general example (from 'nls'): DNase1 <- subset(DNase, Run == 1) fm1DNase1 <- nls(density ~ SSlogis(log(conc), Asym, xmid, scal), DNase1) This is the unweighted fit, in the code of 'nls' one can see that 'nls' generates a vector

Dear All, I encounter some discrepancies when comparing the deviance of a weighted and unweigthed model with the AIC values. A general example (from 'nls'): DNase1 <- subset(DNase, Run == 1) fm1DNase1 <- nls(density ~ SSlogis(log(conc), Asym, xmid, scal), DNase1) Now for a weighted fit: fm2DNase1 <- nls(density ~ SSlogis(log(conc), Asym, xmid, scal),

Hola amigos, Supongamos que se quiere ejecutar un modelo no lineal con nls. Pensemos en el ejemplo de la ayuda: DNase1 <- subset(DNase, Run == 1) fm1DNase1 <- nls(density ~ SSlogis(log(conc), Asym, xmid, scal), DNase1) summary(fm1DNase1) Aquí se está modelando la densidad óptica de un ensayo relacionada de forma no lineal (logística) con (el logaritmo) de la concentración de una proteína.

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(

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

Dear list, I have encountered a problem with predict.nls (Windows XP, R.2.5.0), but I am not sure if it is a bug... On the nls man page, an example is: DNase1 <- subset(DNase, Run == 1) fm2DNase1 <- nls(density ~ 1/(1 + exp((xmid - log(conc))/scal)), data = DNase1, start = list(xmid = 0, scal = 1)) alg = "plinear", trace =

Dear sirs It seems like there is a bug in `profile.nls` with `algorithm = "plinear"` when a matrix is supplied on the right hand side. Here is the bug and a potential fix ##### # example where profile.nls does not work with `plinear` but does with # `default` require(graphics) set.seed(1) DNase1 <- subset(DNase, Run == 1) x <- rnorm(nrow(DNase1)) f1 <- nls(density ~ b1/(1 +

What am I failing to understand here? The script below works fine if the dataset being used is DNase1 <- DNase[ DNase$Run == 1, ] per the example given in help(nlrob). Obviously, I am trying to understand how to use nls and nlrob to fit curves to data using R. #package=DAAG attach(codling) plot(pobs~dose) #next command returns 'step factor reduced below min factor

Is there a native factorial function in R [my searches have been fruitless], or do I need to use gamma() function? ********************************************************************* Dr Peter Caley CSIRO Entomology GPO Box 1700, Canberra, ACT 2601 Email: peter.caley@csiro.au Ph: +61 (0)2 6246 4076 Fax: +61 (0)2 6246 4000 *********************************************************************

Hello! I work with : R : Copyright 2006, The R Foundation for Statistical Computing Version 2.3.1 (2006-06-01) On Windows XP Professional (Version 2002) SP2. At this moment I use the function "nls" combined with a selfStar model (SSmicmen, related to Michaelis-Menten equation, and provided by the "stats" package). When I realise the following operation (cf. p 59 of the

Thanks to Martin, Marc, Dennis, Rashid and Bill for comment. The short answer is there is no factorial function within the base package, so use the result that gamm(x + 1) = x!. This what the factorial() function in the package gregmisc does: factorial <- function (x) gamma(1 + x) Bill V. also writes: "Your best move is usually to use the lgamma() function (for log gamma) and do

Hi all, I try to write a simple function in a script. The script is as follows yo<-function(Xdata) { n<-length(Xdata[,1]) Lgm<-nls(formula=LgmFormula, data=Xdata, start=list(a=1500,b=0.1),weights=Xdata$Qe) return(Lgm) } After the execution of the script, when I call the function yo on data called NC60.DATA I get an error. #yo(NC60.DATA) Erreur dans eval(expr, envir, enclos)

Hello, my data is sorted by start.ens (see below). And now I would like to extract all rows (so called* defined row*s) with type==Expression - subset (df, type==Expression) - and the aforegoing type==DNase HS (which is not necessarly row n-1 - assumung that the defined row is n). I dont know how to add this to my subset command. Is that possible? Thanks Hermann > df start.ens fc.trans

Hi folks, Win7 64bit I tried to save DNase, a data set on database, as .txt file for future use with load.

I'm using nls to fit a variety of different models. Here I use SSgompertz as an example. I want the ability to fix one (or more) of the coefficients that would normally be optimised (e.g. fix b3=0.8). Examples; based on and using data from example(SSgompertz) #--------------------- # vanilla call to nls, no coefficients fixed, works fine nls(density ~ SSgompertz(log(conc), Asym, b2, b3),

thank you to both Adaikalavan and Patrick. on the basis of Adaikalavan example this is an example that point out my problems. >log_raise=function(num, exp, base){return(log(num^exp,base))} I would like to have optional fields, so some settings to be default parameters; if I declare the function as above the operator must of course input all the variables. Finally I could fix as follow.
