Hello, I am wondering if someone can help me. I have the following function that I derived using nls() SSlogis. I would like to find its derivative. I thought I had done this using deriv(), but for some reason this isn't working out for me.
Here is the function: asym <- 84.951 xmid <- 66.90742 scal <- -6.3 x.seq <- seq(1, 153,, 153) nls.fn <- asym/((1+exp((xmid-x.seq)/scal))) try #1 deriv(nls.fn) #get an Error in .Internal(deriv.default(expr, namevec, function.arg, tag, hessian)) : 'namevec' is missing try #2 deriv(nls.fn, namevec=c("asym", "xmid", "scal")) #this doesn't seem to give me the expression, and the gradients are zero. I've tried to do this with Ryacas as well, but I'm lost. Can anyone help?
