[R] Please help me about the regress models!

[Greg Snow]

I think what you need is a good consultant, and with that deadline don't expect any bargains.

You have not specified your problem with enough detail yet, 2 options (there are probably many more) include:

Use the nls function with the model as stated

Use the lm function starting as lm( log( 100/y - 1 ) ~ x,

Those 2 options are based on different models of how the error comes into play, which is more appropriate depends on things that we cannot guess at based on your description.  What to do with either model once fit also depends on the question you want answered.
