Hi Threshold models with time series for ecology have been quite famous with bookf from Tong (1990, nonlinear time series), who studied lynx population and showed evidence of threshold (regime specific) effects, and built a model called "threshold autoregressive" Many of those functions are avai

Hi Jonathan, I don't know if I got the point, but for thresholds assessments, give a look at segmented package. bests milton brazil=toronto On Tue, Jun 16, 2009 at 5:23 PM, Jonathan Greenberg wrote: > Rers: > > I have some ecological data (stream velocity vs. % cover of submerged > weeds) that

Rers: I have some ecological data (stream velocity vs. % cover of submerged weeds) that shows strong evidence of a thresholding step-function, e.g. below some velocity, % cover ranges from 0% to 100% (with no apparent relationship to velocity within this range of velocities), but above a cert
