Inverse Interpolation

Description:

     Use inverse linear interpolation to approximate the 'x' value at
     which the function represented by 'xy' is equal to 'yval'.

Usage:

     NLSstClosestX(xy, yval)

Arguments:

      xy: a 'sortedXyData' object

    yval: a numeric value on the 'y' scale

Value:

     A single numeric value on the 'x' scale.

Examples:

     DNase.2 <- DNase[ DNase$Run == "2", ]
     DN.srt <- sortedXyData(expression(log(conc)), expression(density), DNase.2)
     NLSstClosestX(DN.srt, 1.0)
