oh yes, and the structchange package. After a day of experimentation I couldn't figure out how to get the structchange package to work for my problems. Although it is probably user error on my part, the package seems to be specific to time series problems. Also, I think it needed regularly spaced x's... but maybe that would be a good thing to look at as part of a two step approach (smoothing first to get regularly spaced data).
PS: Actually, I just noticed that there are some other help topics that I had not read yet which went up last November. http://r-project.markmail.org/thread/npjhlwwt6oh3sby3 On Fri, Jan 14, 2011 at 10:25 AM, Spencer Graves < spencer.gra...@structuremonitoring.com> wrote: > Hello: > > > I just found 58 help pages in 32 contributed packages containing the > terms "piecewise" and "regression", as follows: > > > library(sos) > pr <- ???'piecewise regression' # for "piecewise" with "regression" > summary(pr) # 58 matches in 32 packages > pr # view the 58 links sorted by package in a web browser > > p.r <- ???"{piecewise regression}" # for "piecewise" followed immediate by > "regression" > summary(p.r) # 15 matches in 13 packages > p.4 # to view in a web browser > > > Beyond this, the "structchange" package supports looking for changes > that would be, e.g., linear in one segment then jump to a different linear > regime.
