[R] what characteristics of model curve do parameters denote

2011-08-18 Thread Anna Gretschel
Dear list, I'm trying to fit a chapman-richards equation to my data, only I cannot interpret the parameters a, b and d. I know that the parameter b denotes the asymptote, but for the others I couldn't figure out. But I do need to know this in order to set my starting values. Here's the model: mod

ay this because you have just been told that the "theory" tells you that you CANNOT calculate R^2 for a nonlinear model. On Wed, Mar 16, 2011 at 10:25 AM, Anna Gretschel wrote: Am 16.03.2011 18:15, schrieb David Winsemius: On Mar 16, 2011, at 12:53 PM, Anna Gretschel wrote: Dear Li

* be "defined" come with their own sets of problems. A more precise definition of what you want (say you have a particular formula but do not know how to get the necessary information out of the model) may get a better answer. Best regards, Josh On Wed, Mar 16, 2011 at 9:53 AM, Anna

Dear List, I have fitted a spherical function to my variogram using "variofit(...)" from GeoR. Now I would like to predict some data with the function "predict(object,...)" from package stats. Does anyone know wether this works and if it does how to do it? Thanks a lot! Anna ___
