library(nlme)
m2 <- gnls(conc  ~ t1*(1-t2*exp(-k*time)),
           data  = df.Chloride,
           start =  list(
             t1 = 35,
             t2 = 0.91,
             k = 0.22))
summary(m2)
plot(m2)
lag.plot(resid(m2), do.lines=FALSE)
acf(resid(m2))

m3 <- update(m2, corr=corAR1(.67))
summary(m3)
plot(m3)
lag.plot(resid(m3), do.lines=FALSE)
acf(resid(m3))

The residual plots for model m3 still show structure, unlike in Bates &
Watts, so maybe this is not the correct model?
