NLSstLfAsymptoteR Documentation

Horizontal Asymptote on the Left Side

Description

Provide an initial guess at the horizontal asymptote on the left side (i.e., small values of x) of the graph of y versus x from the xy object. Primarily used within initial functions for self-starting nonlinear regression models.

Usage

NLSstLfAsymptote(xy)

Arguments

xy

a sortedXyData object

Value

A single numeric value estimating the horizontal asymptote for small x.
