\keyword{manip}{NLSstRtAsymptote}
\begin{Description}\relax
Provide an initial guess at the horizontal asymptote on
the right side (i.e. large values of \code{x}) of the graph of \code{y}
versus \code{x} from the \code{xy} object.  Primarily used within
\code{initial} functions for self-starting nonlinear regression
models.\end{Description}
\begin{Usage}
\begin{verbatim}
NLSstRtAsymptote(xy)
\end{verbatim}
\end{Usage}
\begin{Arguments}
\begin{ldescription}
\item[\code{xy}] a \code{sortedXyData} object
\end{ldescription}
\end{Arguments}
\begin{Value}
A single numeric value estimating the horizontal asymptote for large \code{x}.\end{Value}
