Look at the functions: nls, optimize, optim. Also look at the packages circular and CircStats.
Hope this helps, -- Gregory (Greg) L.

Hello list, I am making scatterplots of data that vary sinusoidally over 24 hours. With a bit of previous help from this list, I now can get an x-axis with time tics from 00:00 on the left edge to 12:00 in the middle and 00:00 on the right edge, i.e., just 24 hours. Now I would like to fit a sin function to the plot. I've looked all over CRAN and the web in general, but have not found a method or package for this. Can anyone make a suggestion? Thanks, =Randy= Using R 2.4.0 on Solaris (unix). R. Zelick email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Department of Biology voice: 503-725-3086 Portland State University fax: 503-725-3888 mailing: P.O.
