Hello, everyone, I am using a nls regression with 6 groups data. I am trying to coerce a parameter to 1 by using a upper and lower statement. but I always get an error like below:
Error in ifelse(internalPars < upper, 1, -1) : (list) object cannot be coerced to type 'double' does anyone know how to fix it? thanks in advance! My code is below: > dproot depth den ref 1 20 0.5730000 1 2 40 0.7800000 1 3 60 0.9470000 1 4 80 0.9900000 1 5 100 1.0000000 1 6 10 0.6000000 2 7 20 0.8200000 2 8 30 0.9300000 2 9 40 1.0000000 2 10 20 0.4800000 3 11 40 0.7340000 3 12 60 0.9610000 3 13 80 0.9980000 3 14 100 1.0000000 3 15 20 3.2083491 4 16 40 4.9683383 4 17 60 6.2381133 4 18 80 6.5322348 4 19 100 6.5780660 4 20 120 6.6032064 4 21 20 0.6140000 5 22 40 0.8270000 5 23 60 0.9500000 5 24 80 0.9950000 5 25 100 1.0000000 5 26 20 0.4345774 6 27 40 0.6654726 6 28 60 0.8480684 6 29 80 0.9268951 6 30 100 0.9723207 6 31 120 0.9939966 6 32 140 0.9992400 6 > fitdp<-nls(den~Rm[ref]/(1+(depth/d50)^c),data=dproot, + start = list(Rm=c(1.01, 1.01, 1.01, 6.65,1.01,1), d50=20, c=-1)) > summary(fitdp) Formula: den ~ Rm[ref]/(1 + (depth/d50)^c) Parameters: Estimate Std.
