But fitting a linear model to these data obviously does not give you good starting values for nls(). Given your model equation, I would linearize the model to: qe = Qmax*KL * ce + KL * ce*qe and fit a non-intercept linear model to predict qe by ce and ce*qe. From this model I would then determine starting values for nls(). It seems to work with your data set: R> ce <- c(15.17, 42.15, 69.12, 237.7, 419.77) R> qe <- c(17.65, 30.07, 65.36, 81.7, 90.2) R> fit2 <- lm(qe ~ ce + I(ce*qe) - 1) R> summary(fit2) R> Kl <- - coef(fit2)[2] R> Qmax <- coef(fit2)[1]/Kl R> plot(ce, qe) R> c <- seq(min(ce), max(ce)) R> q <- (Qmax*Kl*c)/(1+(Kl*c)) R> lines(c, q) R> fit2 <- nls(qe ~ ((Qmax*Kl*ce)/(1+(Kl*ce))), start = list(Qmax = Qmax,Kl =Kl)) R> summary(fit2) Formula: qe ~ ((Qmax * Kl * ce)/(1 + (Kl * ce))) Parameters: Estimate Std. Error t value Pr(>|t|) Qmax 106.42602 12.82808 8.296 0.00367 ** Kl 0.01456 0.00543 2.681 0.07496 . --- Signif. codes: 0 '***' 0.001 '**' 0.01 '*' 0.05 '.' 0.1 ' ' 1 Residual standard error: 9.249 on 3 degrees of freedom Number of iterations to convergence: 2 Achieved convergence tolerance: 6.355e-06 HTH.
