Hello, I am running a simple nls model (which a friend ran OK) but I get the following error: Error in nls(y ~ R * (1 - (x/K)^2), data = nls.dat, start = list(R = 0.3, : object 'R_nls_iter' not found Does anyone know what the 'R_nls_iter' error is? The data are: x=1:8 ; y=c(14,19,25,34,43,56,69,76) # starting values: R=.3, K=94 Thanks in advance. Jeff
