I'm trying to fit a function y=k*l^(m*x) to some data points, with reasonable starting value estimates (I think). I keep getting "singular matrix 'a' in solve".
This is the code: ox <- c(-600,-300,-200,1,100,200) ir <- c(1,2.5,4,9,14,20) model <- nls(ir ~ k*l^(m*ox),start=list(k=10,l=3,m=0.004),algorithm="plinear") summary(model) plot(ox,ir) testox <- seq(-600,200,length=100) k <- 10 l <- 3 m <- 0.004 testir <- k*l^(m*testox) lines(testox,testir) Any thoughts?
