Hi, Does anyone know how to compute the confidence prediction intervals for a nonlinear least squares models (nls)? I was trying to use the function 'predict' as I usually do for other models fitting (glm, lm, gams...), but it seems that se.fit, and interval computation is not implemented for the nls...

Dear all I have tried to estimate the confidence intervals for predicted values of a nonlinear model fitted with nls. The function predict gives the predicted values and the lower and upper limits of the prediction, when the class of the object is lm or glm. When the object is derived from nls, the function predict (or predict.nls) gives only the predicted values. The se.fit and interval aguments

Thanks for the response. I was not very clear in my original request. What I am asking is if in a non-linear estimation problem using nls(), as the condition number of the Hessian matrix becomes larger, will the t-values of one or more of the parameters being estimated in general become smaller in absolute value -- that is, are low t-values a sign of an ill-conditioned Hessian? Typical

Hi all I have fitted a model usinf nls function to these data: > x [1] 1 0 0 4 3 5 12 10 12 100 100 100 > y [1] 1.281055090 1.563609934 0.001570796 2.291579783 0.841891853 [6] 6.553951324 14.243274230 14.519899320 15.066473610 21.728809880 [11] 18.553054450 23.722637370 The model fitted is: modellogis<-nls(y~SSlogis(x,a,b,c)) It runs OK. Then I calculate

I am using the non-linear least squares routine in "R" -- nls. I have a dataset where the nls routine outputs tight confidence intervals on the 2 parameters I am solving for. As a check on my results, I used the Python SciPy leastsq module on the same data set and it yields the same answer as "R" for the coefficients. However, what was somewhat surprising was the the

I have been using the nls function to fit some simple non-linear regression models for properties of graphite bricks to historical datasets. I have then been using these fits to obtain mean predictions for the properties of the bricks a short time into the future. I have also been calculating approximate prediction intervals. The information I have suggests that the assumption of a normal

Hi Paul, Take a look at gam() from package mgcv (gam = generalized additive models), maybe this will help you. GAMs can work with other distributions as well. Generalized additive models consist of a random component, an additive component, and a link function relating these two components. The response Y, the random component, is assumed to have a density in the exponential family. I am not sure

Do I have the right impression that it's currently not possible to produce confidence intervals for the nls predictions using R? I had a course were we used SAS PROC nlin and there you could get intervals for the parameters and the prediction but I do not have access to SAS. Would it be difficult to implement, I tried to dig into the help pages of nls, vcov and nlsModel but I could not

Hello to all, I'm a biologist trying to tackle a "fish" (Poisson Regression) which is just too big for my modest understanding of stats!!! Here goes... I want to find good literature or proper mathematical procedure to calculate a confidence interval for an inverse prediction of a Poisson regression using R. I'm currently trying to analyse a "dose-response"

Hello all, I'm trying to establish some confidence intervals on predictions I am making using >predict(nls(...)) and predict.nls (unfortunately) does not utilize the se.fit option. A little more background is that I am trying to match the output with older SAS routines to maintain consistency. Because predict.nls does not provide se's for individual predictions, I have been using a

R-helpers, I am using the package "drc" to fit a 4 parameter logistic model. When I use the predict function to get prediction on a new dataset, I am not getting the requested confidence or prediction intervals. Any idea what is going on? Here is code to reproduce the problem: --- library(drc) # Fit model to existing dataset in package spinach.model <- drm(SLOPE~DOSE, data =

I am trying to find a confidence band for a fitted non-linear curve. I see that the predict.nls function has an interval argument, but a previous post indicates that this argument has not been implemented. Is this still true? I have tried various ways to extract the interval information from the model object without success. My code is: Model.predict <- predict(My.nls.model,

Hi all, I was wondering if there is a function out there, or someone has written code for making confidence intervals around model averaged predictions (y~á+âx). The model average estimates are from the dRedging library? It seems a common thing but I can't seem to find one via the search engines Examples of the models are: fit1 <- glm(y~ dbh, family = binomial, data = data) fit2 <-

Dear All I am quite new to R and would appreciate some help fitting 95% confidence intervals to a nls function. I have the data DOY CET 90 5.9 91 8 92 8.4 93 7.7 95 6.6 96 6.8 97 7.1 98 9.7 99 12.3 100 12.8 102 11 103 9.3 104 9.8 105 9.9 107 7.7 110 6.2 111 5.9 112 5.9 113 3.4 114 3.5 116 3.3 117 5.4 118 6.3 119 9.7 120 11.2 121 7.3 124 7.8 etc I am trying to use some code that has been

Dear all, I would like to use the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm for non-linear least-squares regression using function nls.lm. Can anybody help me to find a a way to compute confidence intervals on the fitted parameters as it is possible for nls (using confint.nls, which does not work for nls.lm)? Thank you for your help Michael

Hello- It has been several years since anyone has asked, so i am asking again- has anyone created a routine to estimate confidence intervals for predictions from nls models (ala Bates and Watts 1988)? Thanks - Alice Shelly [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

R-helpers, I recently submitted a help request for the predict.drm function found in the drc package. I am still having issues with the function and I am submitting reproducible code hoping that somebody can help me figure out what is going on. -------- library(drc) # Fit a 4 parameter logistic model to ryegrass dataset fit <- drm(rootl ~ conc, data = ryegrass, fct = LL.4()) summary(fit) #

To my understanding, a confidence interval typically covers a single valued parameter. In contrast, a confidence band covers an entire line with a band. In regression, it is quite common to construct confidence and prediction bands. I have found that many people are connecting individual confidence/prediction interval values produced with predict(object,sd.fit=T,type="conf/pred") and

Dear All, I was trying to call a self-defined function that performs nonlinear regression and gets the corresponding prediction upper limit using nls2 package. However, weird thing happened. When I called the function in the main program, an error message "fitted(nlsmodel): object 'nlsmodel' not found" came up. But when I directly ran the codes inside the function, no error came

Hi, I´m trying to plot a nonlinear regresion with the confidence bands for the curve obtained, similar to what nlintool or nlpredci functions in Matlab does, but I no figure how to. In nls the option is there but not implemented yet. Is there a plan to implement the in a relative near future?
