Just a thought on this topic, I found Harminv quite powerful for this sort of task. I wonder whether it could be wrapped into a R package (it's GPL).

Greetings,

I have several sets of oscillation data and would like to estimate the parameters of a sine function to each set (and hopefully automate this). A colleague provided an excel sheet that uses solver to minimize the RSS after fitting the sine function to each data set, but this cumbersome and difficult to automate. Is there a method in R for fitting a given sine function to a supplied data using maximum likelihood estimation (or minimizing the RSS).
Thanks in advance.
