I am operating on Windows 98, with S+ professional
 
I am attempting to do a simple nonlinear fit with my own model:
 
 
power.model <- function(mean, c, z){
c * mean ^z
}

fm1 <- nlsList( (vars) ~ power.model(means, c, z)|spp,
data = "" start = list(c=1, z=1) )

 
the above data contain 18 records (reps = 18) per group.
 
I received the following message -

........

Warning messages:

Warning in power.model(means, c, z): (1258.54)^(111.6) OVERFLOW error

Error in nls(formula = formula, data = "" start = start, con..: step factor reduced below minimum

Many thanks in advance,
Henry
