Hello all,

I would like to get parameter estimates for different models. For one of 
them I give the code in example. I am estimating the parameters (i,j and 
k) with the nls function, which sees the error distribution as normal, I 
would however like to do the same as nls with the assumption that the 
errors are poisson distributed.

Is there a way to do this with R? Are there packages designed for this? I 
tried with the gnm package, but don't understand how to transform my 
equation to a generalised equation. Is there an option for nls to choose 
family = poisson? 

Lower in the mail the code with the model and visualisations I use to 
check my results. I also copied the test dataset from my txt file.

I am using R 2.15 and Rstudio to visualise it.


plot(FR~N0)
x <- 
nls(FR~(exp(i+j*N0)/(1+exp(i+j*N0)))*(k*N0/(k+N0)),start=list(i=0.02,j=0.002,k=6))
summary(x)
hatx <- predict(x)
lines(spline(N0,hatx))
