Hello R-Users,

I have a Problem in understanding my results using the davies.test 

I read the pdf-documentation on the segmented package and followed the
instructions.

 

1st performing the Davies.test :

 

> davies.test(reg1.2,~lagBYmean)

 

        Davies' test for a change in the slope

 

data:  Model =  gaussian , link = identity 

formula = num_FCRlong ~ GDP + cupol_GDPpCapita + fort_budget +
fort_percentDebt + linpol_primSurplus + Inflation + lagBYmean 

segmented variable = lagBYmean

`Best' at = 24.4831, n.points = 10, p-value = 0.001242

alternative hypothesis: two.sided

 

So the Null can be rejected at 1% level.

 

2nd performing the automatic procedure to estimate breakpoints:

> #### Breakpoint -Estimation

> a<-segmented.lm(reg1.2,seg.Z=~lagBYmean ,psi=list(lagBYmean=NA),

+ control=seg.control(stop.if.error=FALSE,n.boot=0))

Warnmeldung:

No breakpoint estimated

 

I thought the result of the Davies Test told me there“s a change in the
coefficient slope. So in the next step I want to get to know the
breakpoint(s),

But the procedure tells me, there is none. 

What am I doing wrong? And in which step? 

 

 

Thanks for your attention and help,

Katie M
