Hi R users,
I'm here trying to understand correlated residuals in nonlinear estimation.

I'm reading/studying the book Bates, D. M. and D. G. Watts, (1988), /Nonlinear regression analysis and its applications/, Wiley, NY. pages 92-94, trying to reproduce the figures and to find out the code in R to perform the necessary calculations.
I also consulted Pinheiro and Bates, but without success

Here below you'll find are my efforts.
I'm in trouble at plotting the lag plot (fig 3.6 b) and in fitting the new model with autocorrelated residuals (most probably misusing "correlation = corAR1()" in updating a nls model).

Could someone be so kind to help me ?

Thanks a lot
Ottorino

plot(df.Chloride$time,  df.Chloride$conc,  pch  = 20)

## fitting the model
nls.1 <- nls(conc  ~ t1*(1-t2*exp(-k*time)),
            data  = df.Chloride,
            start =  list(

##Figure 3.56a,   pag 93
plot(nls.1,  pch  = 20)

##Figure 3.56b,   pag 93
???????????not the foggiest idea

##Figure 3.57,   pag 94
acf(resid(nls.1),  xlim = c(1, 15),  lab = c(5, 4,  7))

##Try to fit a model with autocorrelated residues (Problems !!)
nls.2 <- update(nls.1,  corr = corAR1(0.67))
