Since I did not receive any answer to my general question (?), let me ask a concrete question:
How can I fit the simple function y = a*sin(x)/b*x?
This is the code that I tried, but nls gives an error:
x <- seq(1,10,0.1)
y <- sin(x)/x
plot(x,y)
z <- jitter(y,amount=0.1)
plot(x,z)
df <- as.data.frame(cbind(x,z))
nf <- nls(z ~ a*sin(x)/b*x, data=df,
start=list(a=0.8,b=0.9), trace = TRUE)I have followed the Puromycin sample which works fine:
Pur.wt <- nls(rate ~ (Vm * conc)/(K + conc), data = Treated,
start = list(Vm = 200, K = 0.1), trace = TRUE)Do I make some mistake or is it not possible to fit sin(x)/x?

Dear R experts
This is a general question: Does R have functions for nonlinear robust regression, analogous to e.g. LTS?
Searching google I have found 1, an abstract to generalize LTS for nonlinear regression models, see: http://smealsearch.psu.edu/1509.html 2, an AD-model builder, see: http://otter-rsch.com/admodel/cc1.html but no mention of R/S
