I am trying to fit a very simple broken stick model using the package "segmented" but I have hit a roadblock.
> str(data) 'data.frame': 18 obs. of 2 variables: $ Bin : num 0.25 0.75 1.25 1.75 2.25 2.75 3.25 3.75 4.25 4.75 ... $ LnFREQ: num 5.06 4.23 3.50 3.47 2.83 ... I fit the lm easily: > fit.lm<-lm(LnFREQ~Bin, data=id07) But I keep getting an error message: > fit.seg<-segmented(fit.glm, seg.Z=~Bin, psi=6) Error in cbind(XREG, U, V) : number of rows of matrices must match (see arg 2) I think the problem is due to NA's in the Bin data, but there doesn't seem to be an "na.action" for segmented (). What is the best way to get around this problem? I would like to keep all Bin values in the output for continuity. Data below....
