similar to: How should a SelfStart function handle illegal parameter values?

Hi Everyone, I posted this a couple of weeks ago with no responses. My interface (via gmane) seemed a bit flakey at the time, so I'm venturing to repost with some additional information. I'm trying to write selfStart non-linear models for use with nls. In these models some combinations of parameter values are illegal; the function value is undefined. That's OK when calling the

> structSSM Is no longer part of KFAS. All you needed to do was: library(KFAS) ?KFAS and you would have seen that if you went to the index. A structural state space model is now built up from its components, much like in LM.

Problem is demonstrated with this code, intended to find the approximate 'x' at which the 'y' is midway between the left and right asymptotes. This particular data set returns NA, which is a bit silly! -------------- sXY <- structure(list(x = c(0, 24, 27, 48, 51, 72, 75, 96, 99), y = c(4.98227, 6.38021, 6.90309, 7.77815, 7.64345, 7.23045, 7.27875, 7.11394, 6.95424)), .Names =

I found an example at http://www.bearcave.com/finance/random_r_hacks/kalman_smooth.html shown below. But it seems the structSSM function has been removed from KFAS library so it won't run. Does anyone know how to fix the code so that it runs? library(KFAS) library(tseries) library(timeSeries) library(zoo) library(quantmod) getDailyPrices = function( tickerSym, startDate, endDate ) {

Hello, list, I am making a self-starting nonlinear function to model the relation of tree height (H) and diameter (D) in a forest stand. The function I am trying is H=a*exp[b*(D+5.8)^(-c)]. To calculate the initial estimates of the parameters, I linearized the formula by taking logarithms and fixing the parameter c=1. Then I calculated the initial estimates of a and b using lm() on the

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

Hello dear R help group, I am trying to read a .txt file, with Hebrew column names, while keeping the column names looking well in R - but without success.

Hello, I'm trying to do some non-linear regression with 2 cell types and 4 tissue type treatments using selfStart models Following Ritz and Streibig (2009), I wrote the following routines: ##Selfstart expDecayAndConstantInflowModel <- function(Tb0, time, aL, aN, T0){ exp(-time*aL)*(T0*aL+(-1+exp(time * aL))*Tb0 * aN)/aL } expDecayAndConstantInflowModelInit <- function(mCall, LHS,

Hi All, Another nls related problem (for background, I'm migrating a complicated modelling package from S-plus to R). Below I've reduced this to the minimum necessary to demonstrate my problem (I think); the real situation is more complicated. Two similar selfStart functions, ssA and ssB. The 'initial' function for ssB modifies its arguments a little and then calls getInital

Dear all I am writing an Sweave document and have encountered formatting issues with the "locale" part of toLatex(sessionInfo()). The fact that there is no spaces between the various "locale" variables means that LaTeX cannot easily find an appropriate place to break the lines, and some will get printed off screen. Below is the text output, and this .pdf document [1] shows the

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) *

Dear List, I have hit this problem with using a plotmath expression in an axis label on a lattice plot I'm including in a Sweave document. The actual document is far too long and boring (unless you are interested in the hydrochemistry of upland lakes) to include here, but the following minimal example reproduces the problem; basically, the PDF produced by Sweave has missing characters in the

Hi, I have great problems with my work in R. I look for to model the growth of fish. I have "Longitudinal data", a serie of repeated measures for each individual. Using the corresponding packages "nlme" in R. I treat to fit to the data different growth functions, wich were entered by me. Unfortunately for no it was arrived at the convergence, several error messages appeared. I

Dear R-help, Here's a simple example of nonlinear curve fitting where nls seems to get the answer wrong on a very simple exponential fit (my R version 2.7.2). Look at this code below for a very basic curve fit using nls to fit to (a) a logarithmic and (b) an exponential curve. I did the fits using self-start functions and I compared the results with a more simple fit using a straight lm()

Hi, I seem to be facing a strange problem when I use Sweave for creating a LaTeX document of the R lme() output --- The EPS and PDF figure files get created, but are empty. I have attached a reproducible example below (taken from the R lme() help example). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \documentclass[a4paper,10pt]{article}
