This problem is not for the faint of heart. Doug Bates, author of nls(...) has said that a general purpose implementaion of R code for multiresponse nonlinear regression is unlikely in the near future. You have a large set of issues to deal with here. First, you have a system of differential eq

[R] Estimating model parameters for system of equations

2011-11-15 Thread lstevenson
Hi all, I'm trying to estimate model parameters in R for a pretty simple system of equations, but I'm having trouble. Here is the system of equations (all derivatives): eqAlgae <- (u_Amax * C_A) * (1 - (Q_Amin / Q_A)) eqQuota <- (p_max * R_V) / (K_p + R_V) - ((Q_A-Q_Amin)*u_Amax) eqResource <- -C
