Hello.  I am trying to fit a non-rectangular hyperbola function to data
of photosynthetic rate vs. light intensity.  There are 4 parameters that
have to be estimated.  I find the nls function very difficult to use
because it often fails to converge and then gives out cryptic error
messages.  I have tried playing with the control parameters but this
does not always help.

Is there another non-linear regression function in R that I might try
(other than regression smoothers, which won�t give the parameter
estimates of the specified function)?
