Sorry for my delay.. If you do not know the breakpoint, I would suggest to estimate it.. Have a look to the segmented package. The relevant code here is attach(d) m0<-lm(percent~ year , weights=1/se) library(segmented) mseg<-segmented(m0,seg.Z=~year,psi=1995) points(year, fitted(mseg)) Hope th

It actually looked reasonably economical but the output certainly is ugly. I see a variety of approaches in the r-help archives. This thread discusses two other approaches, degree-one splines from Berry and hard coded-coefficients from Lumley: http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/R/Rhelp08/archive/

Hi, Let me pick up this old thread. How does one extract the locations of the knots (ends of the segments) from the fit object below? Thanks, Vadim >From : roger koenker < roger_at_ysidro.econ.uiuc.edu > Date : Tue 31 May 2005 - 10:23:19 EST It is conventional to fit piecewise linear
