Make gnls model with tree measurements data

Hi Community

Im want make a model for understand the behaviour of trees (forest) data from Colombia. Im check information about this and suggest me make a Kozak model and run it. I get it with library(forestmangr).

But I need present a model like gnls of nlme package (or other model) but I dont have any idea how to understand this models and construct it. I have experiences with lm but not with gnls, im confussed.

Its important check the assumptions of the final models.

# Example data 
data <- structure(list(Individuo = c(1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 
2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 6, 6,

#how and why use  SSasympOff ?

The variables are:

  • d_cm : diameter variable, in cm. (dependent variable)
  • dbh_cm : diameter at breast height variable, in cm.
  • h_m : height variable, in meters.
  • th_m: total height variable, in meters.

Tnks!
