Hello there,
I am trying to fit an exponential fit using Least squares to some data.
#data
x <- c(1 ,10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100)
y <- c(0.033823, 0.014779, 0.004698, 0.001584, -0.002017, -0.003436,
-0.000006, -0.004626, -0.004626, -0.004626, -0.004626)
sub <- data.frame(x,y)
#If model is y = a*exp(-x) + b then
fit <- nls(y ~ a*exp(-x) + b, data = sub, start = list(a = 0, b = 0), trace
= TRUE)
This works well. However, if I want to fit the model : y = a*exp(-mx)+c then
I try -
fit <- nls(y ~ a*exp(-m*x) + b, data = sub, start = list(a = 0, b = 0, m=
0), trace = TRUE)
It fails and I get the following error -
Error in nlsModel(formula, mf, start, wts) :
singular gradient matrix at initial parameter estimates
Any suggestions how I can fix this? Also next I want to try to fit a sum of
2 exponentials to this data. So the new model would be y = a*exp[(-m1+
m2)*x]+c . Any suggestion how I can do this... Any help would be most
appreciated. Thanks in advance.
