It is possible to use "input parameters" with "standard error" in fitting function nls
Dear all, I would like to introduce an input parameter with an associated standard error to perform a fitting using the nls function (or any similar function): parameter1 = 9.00 +/- 0.20 (parameter 1 has a value of 9.00 and standard error of 0.20) fittingResults <- nls(y ~ function(xdata, ydata, parameter1, fittingparameter),start=list(parameter1=9.00, fittingparameter=5.00)) summary(fittingResults) Does anyone know how to introduce the associated standard error of the parameter to the fitting function? Many thanks for your help, Best regards Vicente
