nonlinear least square
Look at the 'self-starting' functions for nls(), such as SSasymp(). Bill Dunlap TIBCO Software wdunlap tibco.com On Wed, Mar 4, 2015 at 5:01 AM, Evans Otieno Ochiaga <

Hi to all,
Is there a way we can fit a non linear model to a data using non linear
least square method without necessarily initialising the parameters of the
model. I find it hard to get the initial value of the parameter. Below is a
sample of the code I have.
*nachman<-nls(OARmedium$OCCUPANCY~1exp(-alpha*OARmedium$MEAN^beta),start=list(alpha=0.2,beta=0.1),data=OARmedium)summary(nachman)*
Thanks,
