Linear Model with curve fitting parameter?
Setting Z=Q-A would be the incorrect dimensions. I could Z=Q/A. Is fitting a nls model the same as fitting an ols? These data are hydraulic data from ~47 sites. To access predictive ability I am removing one site fitting a new model and then accessing the fit with a myriad of model assessment criteria. I should get the same answer with ols vs nls? Thank you for all of your help. Stephen

I have a model Q=K*A*(R^r)*(S^s) A, R, and S are data I have and K is a curve fitting parameter. ?I have linearized as log(Q)=log(K)+log(A)+r*log(R)+s*log(S) I have taken the log of the data that I have and this is the model formula without the K part lm(Q~offset(A)+R+S, data=x) What is the formula that I should use?
Let Z = Q - A for your logged data. Fitting lm(Z ~ R + S, data = x) should yield intercept parameter estimate = estimate for log(K) R coefficient parameter estimate = estimate for r S coefficient parameter estimate = estimate for s Steven McKinney Statistician Molecular Oncology and Breast Cancer Program British Columbia Cancer Research Centre
Thanks for all of your help. ?I can provide a subset of data if necessary. -- Stephen Sefick
