Returns an overview of 59 NLS test problems originating primarily from the NIST Statistical Reference Datasets (StRD) archive; Bates and Watts (1988); and More, Garbow and Hillstrom (1981).
fields: optional character vector to return a subset of columns in the data.frame .
Returns
a data.frame with high-level information about the available test problems. The following columns are returned by default:
"name" Name of the test problem for use in nls_test_problem.
"class" Either "formula" if the model is defined as a formula or "function" if defined as a function .
"p" Default number of parameters in the test problem.
"n" Default number of residuals in the test problem.
"check" One of the following three options: (1) "p, n fixed" if the listed values for p and n are the only ones possible; (2) "p \<= n free" if the values for p and n are not fixed, but p must be smaller or equal to n; (3) "p == n free" if the values for p and n are not fixed, but p must be equal to n.
