NLSstLfAsymptote
Horizontal Asymptote on the Left Side

Description

Provides an initial guess at the horizontal asymptote on the left side (that is, the 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

# Generic function
NLSstLfAsymptote(xy)
## S3 method for class 'sortedXyData':
NLSstLfAsymptote(xy)

Arguments

xy a sortedXyData object.
Value
returns a single numeric value estimating the horizontal asymptote for small x.
Note
NLSstLfAsymptote() is generic and has only one non-visible method for class "sortedXyData".

Examples
DNase.2 <- Sdatasets::DNase[ Sdatasets::DNase$Run == "2", ] 
DN.srt <- sortedXyData( expression(log(conc)), expression(density), DNase.2 ) 
NLSstLfAsymptote( DN.srt )
