Parameter Estimation of the Load Bearing Capacity Model


Description

This function creates initial parameter estimates of the nonlinear Load Bearing Capacity (Dias Jr., 1994) model, i.e., σ_P = 10 ^ {(b0 + b1 * θ)}, by using two methods: a getInitial method or a log-linearization. Then, it uses them to provide its least-squares estimates via nls.

Usage

fitlbc(theta, sigmaP, ...)

Arguments

theta

a numeric vector containing soil moisture values.

sigmaP

a numeric vector containing values of soil preconsolidation stress.

...

further arguments to nls.

Value

A nls object.
