Hello,
I am trying to use the option of giving starting parameters for a
NonlinearRegress command. I can't figure out the correct syntax for
this. Can anyone let me know the correct way to list the starting values
for two parameters in NonlinearRegress (or I think it should be the same
as NonlinearFit also)
Here is what I am trying:
NonlinearRegress[datatable, p[t], t ,{kon, koff}, StartingParameters ->
{{kon, 0.2},{koff,10^8}}]
I would like to have the data in the table (datatable) fit to the model
( p[t]) with the variables ( t) and the parameters ( kon and koff)
staring at 0.2 for kon and 10^8 for koff. It doesn't fit when I try
without giving the starting parameters. What is the correct way to put
the starting parameters in the above statement?
I hope this question makes sense. Any help is greatfully appreciated.
Thank you,
Katarina
