I have data where I want to fit a model given that I know the value at time zero of one stage is equal to the asymptotic value of the previous stage. In particular, I have kinetic growth curves following the SSasymp
function in R
, such that the predicted nonlinear parameters change each time the process conditions are altered. Sometimes they go up, and sometimes they go down. However, the protocol I am using is consistent.
Is there some trick to accomplishing this constraint within nlme
, or do I have to use saemix
for something like this?
