Lanczos1: Generated data

Description

The Lanczos1 data frame has 24 rows and 2 columns of generated data.

Format

This data frame contains the following columns:

y

A numeric vector of generated responses.

x

A numeric vector of generated input values

Lanczos, C. (1956). Applied Analysis. Englewood Cliffs, NJ: Prentice Hall, pp. 272-280.

Details

These data are taken from an example discussed in Lanczos (1956). The data were generated to 14-digits of accuracy using f(x) = 0.0951*exp(-x) + 0.8607*exp(-3*x) + 1.5576*exp(-5*x).

Examples

Try <- function(expr) if (!inherits(val <- try(expr), "try-error")) val
plot(y ~ x, data = Lanczos1)
## plot on log scale to see the apparent number of exponential terms
plot(y ~ x, data = Lanczos1, log = "y")
## data are an exact fit so the convergence criterion fails
Try(fm1 <- nls(y ~ b1*exp(-b2*x) + b3*exp(-b4*x) + b5*exp(-b6*x),
           data = Lanczos1, trace = TRUE,
           start = c(b1 = 1.2, b2 = 0.3, b3 = 5.6, b4 = 5.5,
                     b5 = 6.5, b6 = 7.6)))

                start = c(b1 = 1.2, b2 = 0.3, b3 = 5.6,
