Apologies for replying and overlapping Gabor's contribution, which actually did the work!

Thanks Gabor,

  That works good to rewrite the express the formula!

Thanks a lot!

Thanks Prof. Nash,

Sorry for late reply. I am learning and trying to use your nlmrt
package since I got your email. It works good to mask a parameter in
regression but seems does work for my equation. I think the problem is
that the parameter I want to mask is a group-specific parameter and I
have a "[]" syntax in my equation. However, I don't have your 2014
book on hand and couldn't find it in our library. So I am wondering if
nlxb works for group data?
Thanks a lot!

following is my code and I got a error form it.

fitdp1<-nlxb(den~Rm[ref]/(1+(depth/d50)^c),data=dproot,
                 + start =c(Rm1=1.01, Rm2=1.01, Rm3=1.01, Rm4=6.65,
Rm5=1.01, Rm6=1, d50=20, c=-1),
                 + masked=c("Rm6"))

Error in deriv.default(parse(text = resexp), names(start)) :
   Function '`[`' is not in the derivatives table


Best regards,

Jianling

I posted a suggestion to use nlmrt package (function nlxb to be
precise),
which has masked (fixed) parameters. Examples in my 2014 book on
Nonlinear
parameter optimization with R tools. However, I'm travelling just now,
or
would consider giving this a try.

no, I am doing a regression with 6 group data with 2 shared parameters
and 1 different parameter for each group data. the parameter I want to
coerce is for one group. I don't know how to do it. Any suggestion?

Thanks!

Why not rewrite the function so that value is not a parameter?

Hello, everyone,

I am using a nls regression with 6 groups data. I am trying to coerce
a parameter to 1 by using a upper and lower statement. but I always
get an error like below:

Error in ifelse(internalPars < upper, 1, -1) :

does anyone know how to fix it?

thanks in advance!
