Spencer,
Thanks for the hint. I did not dare to bore people with the full data
set and though that this kind of error may have been trivial and often
encountered (so leading to a short answer), even though I did not see
related messages on the r-help list. I already did the checks suggested
before posting, and was aware of the possible confusion between 1 and l
(actually the variable names were not given by myself).
It seems that the trouble comes when the grouping variable "Organ" is
used. The best (?) I can do is to dump the data.frame here below.
With this example, one can get exactly the same errors:
mymod2<-nls(Conc~Dose * exp(lKe+lKa-lCl) *
(exp(-exp(lKe)*Tps)-exp(-exp(lKa)*Tps)) /(exp(lKa)-exp(lKe)),
data=mydata2,
start= c(lKe=-2.77, lKa=-1.41, lCl=-1.13)
)
... works well!!!
but we get then:
mymod3<-nlsList(Conc~Dose * exp(lKe+lKa-lCl) *
(exp(-exp(lKe)*Tps)-exp(-exp(lKa)*Tps)) /(exp(lKa)-exp(lKe)) | Organ,
data=mydata2,
start= c(lKe=-2.77, lKa=-1.41, lCl=-1.13)
)
Error in model.frame(formula, rownames, variables, varnames, extras,
extranames, :
