    Hi Everybody,

    I need to use Non Linear Regression Tools in R, like "nstools" or "nls". How Can I use these or others Non linear Regression packages in Rkward? I have installed Rkward 0.6.3 on Linux Mint 17.1.

    Thanks for your help!

    Hi!

    The functionality covered by graphical dialogs in RKWard is still somewhat limited, and does not include non-linear regression - in the official distribution.

    The separately available package rk.Teaching provides some support for non-linear regression. As far as I am aware, it is only available in Spanish, ATM, and you'll have to check for yourself, whether it covers the functionality you need. You can install this using "Settings->Manage R packages and plugins..."

    Apart from this, RKWard provides full access to R, and thus you can do simply use R inside RKWard, interactively (using the "R Console"-window), or by writing a script. You will still be able to profit from graphical functionality e.g. for importing/editing data, etc.

    If your question is about installing R packages, specifically, the answer is simple: Either use

     install.packages()
    

    as in regular R, or the RKWards graphical package management dialog ("Settings->Manage R packages and plugins...").

    Regards
    Thomas

      Thanks Thomas for your answer and your time. I will check rk package. I am a beginner in R and I am still learning about the use of the console.

      Regards,

      Juan.
