Self-Starting nls
Logistic Model
Description
This selfStart
model evaluates the logistic
function and its gradient. It has an initial
attribute that
creates initial estimates of the parameters Asym
,
xmid
, and scal
. In R 3.4.2 and earlier, that
init function failed when min(input)
was exactly zero.
Usage
SSlogis(input, Asym, xmid, scal)
Arguments
input |
a numeric vector of values at which to evaluate the model. |
Asym |
a numeric parameter representing the asymptote. |
xmid |
a numeric parameter representing the |
scal |
a numeric scale parameter on the |
Value
a numeric vector of the same length as input
. It is the value of
the expression Asym/(1+exp((xmid-input)/scal))
. If all of
the arguments Asym
, xmid
, and scal
are
names of objects the gradient matrix with respect to these names is
attached as an attribute named gradient
.
