Can't find nls()

Dear Kris,

Try typing "library(nls)" and "library(MASS)" at the R prompt. nls and MASS 
should be part of your R installation (assuming you are using a relatively 
recent R version).

You can find more answers to these questions in the FAQ (5.1 shows the 
packages which are part of the standard distribution and 5.3 explains, among 
others, how to load packages). You might also want to read R-intro ("An 
introduction to R") and/or some of the other into docs available from the web 
page.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

I looked for the nls() function and couldn't find it. In the refman.pdf
it's mentioned as part of the nls package which I cannot find and I also
read something about the MASS package, also impossible to find for me.

Do

library(nls)
library(MASS)

not work?  If so your R installation is incomplete or corrupt.  Please
take this up with your local sysadmin.
