Dear Brendan, I am not sure to understand your code.. It seems to me that your are interested in fitting a one-breakpoint segmented relationship in each level of your grouping variable
If this is the case, the correct code is below. In order to fit a segmented relationship in each group you have to define the relevant variable before fitting, and to constrain the last slope to be zero you have to consider the `minus' variable..(I discuss these points in the submitted Rnews article..If you are interested, let me know off list). If my code does not fix your problem, please let me know, Best, vito ##--define the group-specific segmented variable: X<-model.matrix(~0+factor(group),data=df)*df$tt df$tt.KV<-X[,1] #KV df$tt.KW<-X[,2] #KW df$tt.WC<-X[,3] #WC ##-fit the unconstrained model olm<-lm(y~group+tt.KV+tt.KW+tt.WC,data=df) os<-segmented(olm,seg.Z=~tt.KV+tt.KW+tt.WC,psi=list(tt.KV=350, tt.KW=500, tt.WC=350)) #have a look to results: with(df,plot(tt,y)) with(subset(df,group=="RKW"),points(tt,y,col=2)) with(subset(df,group=="RKV"),points(tt,y,col=3)) points(df$tt[df$group=="RWC"],fitted(os)[df$group=="RWC"],pch=20) points(df$tt[df$group=="RKW"],fitted(os)[df$group=="RKW"],pch=20,col=2) points(df$tt[df$group=="RKV"],fitted(os)[df$group=="RKV"],pch=20,col=3) #constrain the last slope in group KW tt.KW.minus<- -df$tt.KW olm1<-lm(y~group+tt.KV+tt.WC,data=df) os1<-segmented(olm1,seg.Z=~tt.KV+tt.KW.minus+tt.WC,psi=list(tt.KV=350, tt.KW.minus=-500, tt.WC=350)) #check..:-) slope(os1) with(df,plot(tt,y)) with(subset(df,group=="RKW"),points(tt,y,col=2)) with(subset(df,group=="RKV"),points(tt,y,col=3)) points(df$tt[df$group=="RWC"],fitted(os1)[df$group=="RWC"],pch=20) points(df$tt[df$group=="RKW"],fitted(os1)[df$group=="RKW"],pch=20,col=2) points(df$tt[df$group=="RKV"],fitted(os1)[df$group=="RKV"],pch=20,col=3) Power, Brendan D (Toowoomba) ha scritto: > Hello all, > > I have 3 time series (tt) that I've fitted segmented regression models > to, with 3 breakpoints that are common to all, using code below > (requires segmented package).
