[R] How to calculate standard error of estimate (S) for my non-linear regression model?

[Michael Eisenring]

Hi all,

I am looking for something that indicates the goodness of fit for my non
linear regression model (since R2 is not very reliable).

I read that the standard error of estimate (also known as standard error of
the regression) is a good alternative.

 

The standard error of estimate is described on this page (including the
formula) http://onlinestatbook.com/2/regression/accuracy.html
<https://3c.gmx.net/mail/client/dereferrer?redirectUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fonlinest
atbook.com%2F2%2Fregression%2Faccuracy.html> 

Unfortunately however, I have no clue how to programm it in R. Does anyone
know and could help me?

Thank you very much.

 

I added an example of my model and a dput() of my data

#CODE

dta<-read.csv("Regression_exp2.csv",header=T, sep = ",")
attach(dta)      # tells R to do the following analyses on this dataset
head(dta)

 

# loading packages: analysis of mixed effect models
library(nls2)#model

#Aim: fit equation to data: y~yo+a*(1-b^x) : Two parameter exp. single rise
to the maximum
# y =Gossypol (from my data set) x= Damage_cm (from my data set)
#The other 3 parameters are unknown: yo=Intercept, a= assymptote ans b=slope

plot(Gossypol~Damage_cm, dta)
# Looking at the plot, 0 is a plausible estimate for y0:
# a+y0 is the asymptote, so estimate about 4000;
# b is between 0 and 1, so estimate .5
dta.nls <- nls(Gossypol~y0+a*(1-b^Damage_cm), dta,
               start=list(y0=0, a=4000, b=.5))

xval <- seq(0, 10, 0.1)
lines(xval, predict(dta.nls, data.frame(Damage_cm=xval)))
profile(dta.nls, alpha= .05)


summary(dta.nls)
