[R] Functions in formulae ??

[Jeremy Clark]

Dear All,

In the following simple case I can't seem to get an improved fit,
despite trying all of the control possibilities. As there seem to be
no examples anywhere which show use of functions such as "dnorm"
within a formula, and as I am not confident at all that my formula is
correctly configured, I would appreciate some feedback ! Many thanks
in advance.
