How to avoid negative intermediate guess in nlmefit

2 visualizzazioni (ultimi 30 giorni)
Hello everyone,
when I use nlmefit, it always comes up with some negative guess after a few iterations, these negative values crash my ODE solver. Is there a way to avoid this?
The easiest way I can think of is to set lower bound for fitted parameters, however, I cannot figure out how to do that with nlmefit.
Thank you!

If a parameter P needs to be positive, sometimes people will instead estimate a parameter logP and then use exp(logP) in place of P in their function.

I'd forgotten about this parameter. Yes, I'd use that to specify a log transform and let the function take care of converting the covb matrix.
