Get Initial Parameter Estimates

This function evaluates initial parameter estimates for a nonlinear regression model. If data is a parameterized data frame or pframe object, its parameters attribute is returned. Otherwise the object is examined to see if it contains a call to a selfStart object whose initial attribute can be evaluated.

Keywords: manip, models, nonlinear

Usage

getInitial(object, data, ...)

Arguments

object: a formula or a selfStart model that defines a nonlinear regression model
data: a data frame in which the expressions in the formula or arguments to the selfStart model can be evaluated
...: optional additional arguments

Value

A named numeric vector or list of starting estimates for the parameters. The construction of many selfStart models is such that these "starting" estimates are, in fact, the converged parameter estimates.

Examples

library(stats)

PurTrt <- Puromycin[ Puromycin$state == "treated", ]
print(getInitial( rate ~ SSmicmen( conc, Vm, K ), PurTrt ), digits = 3)
