Your question is (completely) ill-posed. What is your actual model? What you have said makes no sense at all as it stands. (Minimal self-contained example .....)

Hi all, Is it possible to model a function where the unknown parameter appears both in the fitted equation AND in the determination of other parameters? E.g. y = a^2 + b/2 + k where a = 2/k and b = k^2 and the model needs to determine k? I know this is a very simple equation (its just an example), the one I am modelling is much more complicated! k appears in the equation which the n.l.r model fits, but it also affects other parameters in the equation. Please let me know if you know a way of achieving this. I realise it is possible to set up a loop where the modelled value for k is fed back in to a and b, and the model is run again - but it seems like there should be a more elegant way within one run of the model.
