Problems with lsquares an wxMaxima



Hi,

I?m having problems with lsquares and the lsquares_estimates command.

The first problem is a wxMaxima problem: The function doesn?t return the
focus to wxMaxima. I have to press abort, then I get the results. This
doesn?t happen when an exact solution with solve is found.

The second problem seems to be a lsquares problem: In the sample (see
attachment) I want to fit a logistic growth function to the given data.

I get an empty result. If I remove just one data pair, I get fine
results (no matter which data pair I remove).

I would very much like to know if there are known bugs and limitations
of that command. I have some more problems with it (all of them related
to logistic or other growth functions).

It would be very nice if someone could have a look at the attached sample.

Best regards,

Andreas
