How to calculate by hand standard errors and t statistics of minpack.lm::nlsLM?
Let's consider this code as an example:
a = 10
b = 2
c = 1.05
set.seed(123,kind="Mersenne-Twister",normal.kind="Inversion")
x = runif(100)
data = data.frame(X = x, Y = a + b/c * (((1-x)^-c)-1))
fit_sp <- minpack.lm::nlsLM( formula = Y ~ a + b/c * (((1-X)^-c)-1),
data = data, start = c(a = 0, b = 0.1, c = 0.01),
control = nls.control(maxiter = 1000),
lower = c(0.0001,0.0001,0.0001))
fit_sp
Nonlinear regression model
model: Y ~ a + b/c * (((1 - X)^-c) - 1)

I know that non linear least squares calculates the coefficients that minimize the sum of squared residuals. But how is it possible to obtain by hand the standard errors and the t-statistics for the parameters estimate?
r
statistics
nls
standard-error
