Optimum Wilkinson Curve Fitting

Description

Runs one cycle of optimum Wilkinson curve fitting for a single sinusoid fitting.

Usage

proxyA(ax, ay, xin)

Arguments

ax

x-axis values

ay

y-axis values

xin

starting model: c( Phs,Pos,Amp,Prd)

Details

This program implements the Wilkinson and ivany approach to climate time series modeling. This is used in the more sophisticated proxyJK code.

Value

Optimum model, vector of 4 values

Note

Uses stats package routine optim for optimization
