You are right in assuming that I try to fit a twopeak-curve-
a4 * (a1*exp(-((x-a3)/a2)^2) + (1 - a1)*exp(-((x-a6)/a5)^2)) -
makes physical-sense and I am successful and happy to reach convergence with
both models yours and mine the old one: f(x) = a1*exp(-((x-a3)/a2)^2) +
a4*exp(-((x-a6)/a5)^2) :
I varied the parameters in both cases(model-functions) and tried to
vary tolerance ;
stepsize and iterations with help from numerical recipes/method of
Levenberg-Marquardt/
but - this is my problem - only successful in another statistical software,
I have problems to program and vary tolerance;stepsize and iterations in
Stata,writing the do-file
with initial parameter-setting works wthout mistakes(see do-file above).
I can't find >> Royston,P 1992 sg 1.2 Nonlinear Regression Command. Stata
Technical Bulletin 7: 11- 18
Reprinted in Stata Technical Bulletin reprints vol 2,pp. 112 - 120 <<
anywhere , I want to know
the algorithm very exactly.
any help will be very appreciated andreas
