Any help

It looks like "nls" may have tested something like q = 0, for 
which IFOXM is (-Inf), provided the other numbers are sensible. 

      With problems like this, before I invoke "nls", I study the 
formula and evaluate it with all the different combinations of arguments 
that might produce NA or Inf.  If I find a value unacceptable to "nls", 
I change the parameterization to eliminate it.  For example, if r, q and 
K must be positive, then I replace them with log.r, log.q, and log.K. 

      hope this helps.  spencer graves

Hi could anyone help me how to bypass this problem

IFOXM <- function(r, q , K) { (2*r*log(q*K))/(2+r)+((2-r)/(2+r))* 

v1

-(q/(2+r))* v2}

v3 <- IFOXArist$Ln.Ut.1

IFOXMArist <- nls(v3~ IFOXM (r, q , K),start=list(r=0.5, q=0.01,

K=2000))

Error in numericDeriv(form[[3]], names(ind), env) : 

Missing value or an Infinity produced when evaluating the 

model In addition: Warning message: NaNs produced in: log(x)
