Another approach:

foo <- function(t){
           bm <- ceiling(t/15)
           s <- cut(t,breaks=15*(0:bm),labels=1:bm)
           s <- as.numeric(levels(s)[s])
           t^(s+1)
}

This idea can be generalised .....

One way is to simply nest your ifelse()s:

y<- ifelse(t<  15, t^2, ifelse(t<  30, t^3, t^4))

Dear all,

I'm aware if y has two separate functions (depending on the conditions
of x) you can use the ifelse function to separate y into two separate
functions depending on input. How do you do this if there a multiple
different conditions for x?

for example,

y fits the following between t>0&  t<15----->function(t) t^2, y fits
the following between t>15&  t<30----->  function(t) t^3, y fits the
following between t>30&t<45--->function(t) t^4 etc


Thanks for any help you are able to give,
yours sincerely,
Aimee
