Non-linear regression with latent variable
If you have the "RSiteSearch" package installed, you can do the
following:
library(RSiteSearch)
nrow(nll <- RSiteSearch.function("nonlinear regression with latent"))
HTML(nll)
This just produced 8 hits for me. If this doesn't solve your
problem, you might try other search terms. If all those fail, you
could write your own likelihood function and use the "maxLik" package.
Hope this helps.

Hi Can anyone please suggest me a package where I can estimate a non-linear regression model? One of the independent variables is latent or unobserved. I have an indicator variable for this unobserved variable; however the relationship is known to be non-linear also. In terms of equations my problem is y=f(latent, fixed) q=g(latent) where q is the indicator variable For me both f and g are non-linear. Thanks Samiul Hasan
