Dear Bert, Thank you so much for your kind and valuable feedback. I tried finding the starting values using the approach you mentioned, then did the following to fit the nonlinear regression model: nlregmod2 <- nls(y ~ theta1 - theta2*exp(-theta3*x), start = list(theta1 = 0.37, theta2 = exp(-1.8), theta3 = -0.05538), data=mod14data2_random) However, I got this error: Error in nls(y ~ theta1 - theta2 * exp(-theta3 * x), start = list(theta1 = 0.37, : step factor 0.000488281 reduced below 'minFactor' of 0.000976562 nlregmod2 <- nlxb(y ~ theta1 - theta2*exp(-theta3*x), start = list(theta1 = 0.37, theta2 = exp(-1.8), theta3 = -0.05538), data=mod14data2_random) summary(nlregmod2) Object has try-error or missing parameters nlregmod2 And I get some NA values when retrieving the statistics for the fitted model: residual sumsquares = 0.0022973 on 15 observations after 2235 Jacobian and 2861 function evaluations name coeff SE tstat pval gradient JSingval theta1 9330.89 NA NA NA 5.275e-11 967470 theta2 9330.41 NA NA NA -5.318e-11 1.772 theta3 -3.0032e-07 NA NA NA 1.389e-05 8.028e-12 Kind regards, Paul El dom, 20 ago 2023 a las 13:21, Bert Gunter (<bgunter.4...@gmail.com>) escribió:I got starting values as follows: Noting that the minimum data value is .38, I fit the linear model log(y - .37) ~ x to get intercept = -1.8 and slope = -.055. So I used .37, exp(-1.8) and -.055 as the starting values for theta0, theta1, and theta2 in the nonlinear model. This converged without problems.
