R script - NLS not working

问题


I have 5 (x,y) data points and I'm trying to find a best fit solution consisting of two lines which intersect at a point (x0,y0), and which follow these equations:

y1 = (m1)(x1 - x0) + y0
y2 = (m2)(x2 - x0) + y0

Specifically, I require that the intersection must occur between x=2 and x=3. Have a look at the code:

#Initialize x1, y1, x2, y2
x1 <- c(1,2)
y1 <- c(10,10)

x2 <- c(3,4,5)
y2 <- c(20,30,40)

g <- c(TRUE, TRUE, FALSE, FALSE, FALSE)

q <- nls(c(y1, y2) ~ ifelse(g == TRUE, m1 * (x1 - x0) + y0, m2 * (x2 - x0) + y0), start = c(m1 = -1, m2 = 1, y0 = 0, x0 = 2), algorithm = "port", lower = c(m1 = -Inf, m2 = -Inf, y0 = -Inf, x0 = 2), upper = c(m1 = Inf, m2 = Inf, y0 = Inf, x0 = 3))
coef <- coef(q)
m1 <- coef[1]
m2 <- coef[2]
y0 <- coef[3]
x0 <- coef[4]

#Plot the original x1, y1, and x2, y2
plot(x1,y1,xlim=c(1,5),ylim=c(0,50))
points(x2,y2)

#Plot the fits
x1 <- c(1,2,3,4,5)
fit1 <- m1 * (x1 - x0) + y0
lines(x1, fit1, col="red")

x2   <- c(1,2,3,4,5)
fit2 <- m2 * (x2 - x0) + y0
lines(x2, fit2, col="blue")

So, you can see the data points listed there. Then, I run it through my nls, get my parameters m1, m2, x0, y0 (the slopes, and the intersection point).

But, take a look at the solution:

Clearly, the red line (which is supposed to only be based on the first 2 points) is not the best line of fit for the first 2 points. This is the same case with the blue line (the 2nd fit), which supposed to be is dependent on the last 3 points). What is wrong here?


回答1:


I'm not exactly sure what's wrong but I can get it to work by rearranging things a bit. Please note the comment in ?nls about "Do not use ‘nls’ on artificial "zero-residual" data."; I added a bit of noise.

## Initialize x1, y1, x2, y2
x1 <- c(1,2)
y1 <- c(10,10)

x2 <- c(3,4,5)
y2 <- c(20,30,40)

## make single x, y vector
x <- c(x1,x2)
set.seed(1001)
## (add a bit of noise to avoid zero-residual artificiality)
y <- c(y1,y2)+rnorm(5,sd=0.01)

g <- c(TRUE,TRUE,FALSE,FALSE,FALSE) ## specify identities of points

## particular changes:
##   * you have lower=upper=2 for x0.  Did you want 2<x0<3?
##   * specified data argument explicitly (allows use of predict() etc.)
##   * changed name from 'q' to 'fit1' (avoid R built-in function)
fit1 <- nls(y ~ ifelse(g,m1,m1+delta_m)*(x - x0) + y0,
         start = c(m1 = -1, delta_m = 2, y0 = 0, x0 = 2),
         algorithm = "port",
         lower = c(m1 = -Inf, delta_m = 0, y0 = -Inf, x0 = 2),
         upper = c(m1 = Inf, delta_m = Inf, y0 = Inf, x0 = 3),
         data=data.frame(x,y))

#Plot the original 'data'
plot(x,y,col=rep(c("red","blue"),c(2,3)),
           xlim=c(1,5),ylim=c(0,50))

## add predicted values
xvec <- seq(1,5,length.out=101)
lines(xvec,predict(fit1,newdata=data.frame(x=xvec)))

edit: based ifelse clause on point identity, not x position

edit: changed to require second slope to be > first slope

On a second look, I think the issue above is probably due to the use of separate vectors for x1 and x2 above, rather than a single x vector: I suspect these got replicated by R to match up with the g vector, which would have messed things up pretty badly. For example, this stripped-down example:

g <- c(TRUE, TRUE, FALSE, FALSE, FALSE)
ifelse(g,x1,x2)
## [1] 1 2 5 3 4

shows that x2 gets extended to (3 4 5 3 4) before being used in the ifelse clause. The scariest part is that normally one gets a warning such as this:

> x2 + 1:5
[1] 4 6 8 7 9
Warning message:
In x2 + 1:5 :
  longer object length is not a multiple of shorter object length

but in this case there is no warning ...




回答2:


This is segmented regression:

# input data

x1 <- c(1,2); y1 <- c(10,10); x2 <- c(3,4,5);  y2 <- c(20,30,40) 
x  <- c(x1, x2); y <- c(y1, y2)

# segmented regression

library(segmented)
fm <- segmented.lm(lm(y ~ x), ~ x, NA, seg.control(stop.if.error = FALSE, K = 2))
summary(fm)

# plot

plot(fm)
points(y ~ x)

See ?lm, ?segmented.lm and ?seg.control for more info.
