Dear Gabor,

1) The constraints are active, at least from a formal point view.
3) I have tried several times to run betareg.fit on the data, and the only thing I can obtain is the very strange error:

Error in dimnames(x) <- dn : length of 'dimnames' [2] not equal to array extent

The error is strange because, because the function dimnames is not called anywhere.
Regards

Try it anyways -- maybe none of your constraints are active.

Dear Gabor, dear R users,

I had already read the betareg documentation. As far as I can understand
from the help, it does not allow for constrained regression.

Regards

Check out the betareg package.

Dear R users,

I have to fit the non linear regression:

y~1-exp(-(k0+k1*p1+k2*p2+ .... +kn*pn))

where ki>=0 for each i in [1 .... n] and pi are on R+.

I am using, at the moment, nls, but I would rather use a Maximum
Likelhood
based algorithm. The error is not necessarily normally distributed.

y is approximately beta distributed, and the volume of data is medium to
large (the y,pi may have ~ 40,000 elements).

I have studied the packages in the task views Optimisation and Robust
Statistical Methods, but I did look like what I was looking for was
there.
Maybe I am wrong.

The nearest thing was nlrob, but even that does not allow for
constraints,
as far as I can understand.

Any suggestion?

Regards
