[R] simple NLS query

2006-12-23 Thread ivo welch
dear R experts: I am trying to orient myself using nls(). so, I am just trying to copy and adapt an example in the nls() function: d= data.frame( y= runif(10), x= runif(10) ) nls( y ~ 1/(1+x), data = d, start= list(x=0.5,y=0.5), trace=TRUE) Error in n%%respLength : non-numeric argument

See the nls help page: Arguments formula a nonlinear model formula including variables and parameters. and you have y ~ 1/(1+x) which does not seem to match the requirement of the help page. What are the unknowns for which you were hoping nls would solve?? On Sat, 23 Dec

duh! thanks. summary(nls( y ~ 1/(1+b*x), data = d, start= list(b=0.5))) works, of course. /iaw On 12/23/06, Charles C. Berry [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: See the nls help page: Arguments formula a nonlinear model formula including variables and parameters. and you have
