| profile.nls {stats} | R Documentation |
Investigates the profile log-likelihood function for a fitted model of
class "nls".
## S3 method for class 'nls'
profile(fitted, which = 1:npar, maxpts = 100, alphamax = 0.01,
delta.t = cutoff/5, ...)
fitted |
the original fitted model object. |
which |
the original model parameters which should be profiled. This can be a numeric or character vector. By default, all non-linear parameters are profiled. |
maxpts |
maximum number of points to be used for profiling each parameter. |
alphamax |
highest significance level allowed for the profile t-statistics. |
delta.t |
suggested change on the scale of the profile t-statistics. Default value chosen to allow profiling at about 10 parameter values. |
... |
further arguments passed to or from other methods. |
The profile t-statistics is defined as the square root of change in sum-of-squares divided by residual standard error with an appropriate sign.
A list with an element for each parameter being profiled. The elements are data-frames with two variables
par.vals |
a matrix of parameter values for each fitted model. |
tau |
the profile t-statistics. |
