Dear Ronald,
I got started on your problem, but I didn't finish it.
I got a plausible answer to start with, but when checking
the answer I ran into some trouble. Unfortunately, fitting
these functions is a bit harder than one might expect ...
it takes quite a bit of fussing to get a good, reliable answer.
My partly-worked solution is below.
> I defined it the following way:
You were multiplying instead of dividing by the second
term (I changed it by raising the term to a negative
power instead.
The lesson here: *always* do some sanity checks (graphical or otherwise)
of your functions. I actually did the whole fit before I tried to plot
the curves and found that they were increasing rather than decreasing ...
## fixed
clark2Dt <- function(x , p, u=1) {
(p/(pi*u))/(1+(x^2/u))^(p+1)
}
It might be preferable to define this in terms of s=sqrt(u)
instead (then s would be a scale parameter with the same units
as x, more easily interpretable ...
Sanity checks:
par(las=1,bty="l") ## personal preferences
curve(clark2Dt(x,p=6),from=0,to=5)
curve(clark2Dt(x,p=4),col=2,add=TRUE)
curve(clark2Dt(x,p=2),col=4,add=TRUE)
legend("topright",paste("p",c(6,4,2),sep="="),col=c(1,2,4),lty=1)
Grab data (in the future, if possible, please use dput(), which puts
your data in the most convenient form, or write out a statement like
this to define your data ...)
