I have data that looks like Year,Recruit,Spawner,Mtempcv 1958,4532,775,0.24125 1959,22996,2310,0.16319 1960,628,2990,0.46056 1961,879,1400,0.33028 1962,14747,1130,0.22618 1963,13205,790,0.20596 1964,31793,1195,0.19229 1965,10621,981,0.20363 1966,22271,870,0.3452 1967,8736,1104,0.27511 1968,8761,883,0.10884 1969,18885,1421,0.17799 1970,10098,1198,0.2106 1971,3394,760,0.22098 1972,1697,1354,0.39461 1973,25159,1308,0.19696 [truncated]
with program #Ricker Curve mod2=nls(Recruit~(Spawner*exp((delta+echo*Spawner)+(foxtrot*Mtempcv))), data=box48, start=list(delta=4, echo=0, foxtrot=-7), trace=TRUE) plot(Recruit~Spawner, data=box48, pch=19) mod2a=seq(369, 3000) lines(mod2a, predict(mod2, list(Spawner=mod2a)), col="red", lty=2) R has no problem finding a solution to the nls() model (only 7 iterations are needed), but when I try to plot the line on the requested plot, I get the warning message "Warning message: In (delta + echo * Spawner) + (foxtrot * Mtempcv) : longer object length is not a multiple of shorter object length." R tries to plot the line, but it appears as just a mess of vertical lines that get more dense where (I would imagine) the actual line is to go. Any ideas what may be causing this issue?
