Hello, we work in nlme, with R version 2.2.1. We ran the follwing sentence, a growth function,
> formula(my data.gd) L.gd ~ Largo | ID Rich<- function(Largo, Linf, K, t0, m) Linf *(1-exp(-K(edad-t0)))^(1/(1-m)) > Rich.nlme <- nlme(Largo ~ Rich(edad, Linf, K, t0, m), + data = L.gd, + fixed = Linf + K +t0 +m~ 1, + start = list(fixed = c(800, 0.3,-0.5,0.3))) And the program gave us this error message, Error: Singularity in backsolve at level 0, block 1 In addition: Warning messages: 1: NaNs produced in: log(x) 2: NaNs produced in: log(x) Does anyone know what this means? We would apreciate if you could point us to a reference Lic. Gabriela Escati Peñaloza Biología y Manejo de Recursos Acuáticos Centro Nacional Patagónico(CENPAT). CONICET Bvd. Brown s/nº.
