Hello everybody,
I am trying to use the FindRoot function in NonlinearRegress: so far with
no result, but it may be a simple format problem. Has anybody been able to
do this?
Here is a concrete example:
there is some data={{x1,y1},{x2,y2},...}
and some model, say
y = FindRoot[a x + b Cos[x]==0,{x,{0,10}}][[1,2]]
Now I want to fit a and b to this model:
NonlinearRegress[data,
FindRoot[a x + b Cos[x]==0,{x,{0,10}}][[1,2]],
{x},
{{a,{2.0,1.9},0,Infinity},{b,{0.001,0.002},0,Infinity}},
Method->FindMinimum,
ShowProgress->True,
MaxIterations->20]
But this doesn't work, there is a lot of error output, mainly that
FindRoot didn't find anything. I suspect somehow the current parameters a
and b are not passed to FindRoot.
Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks, Christian.
