⚠️There's a newer version (2016.3.2) of this package.Take me there.
nlmrt (version 2013-8.10)
Functions for nonlinear least squares solutions
Description
nlmrt provides tools for working with nonlinear least squares problems
using a calling structure similar to, but much simpler than, that of the nls()
function. Moreover, where nls() specifically does NOT deal with small or zero
residual problems, nlmrt is quite happy to solve them. It also attempts to be
more robust in finding solutions, thereby avoiding 'singular gradient' messages
that arise in the Gauss-Newton method within nls(). The Marquardt-Nash approach
in nlmrt generally works more reliably to get a solution, though this may be
one of a set of possibilities, and may also be statistically unsatisfactory.
