dear Szymon,

what do you mean

"it does not work for others.. that fit within similar range"?

Each dataset has its own features and breakpoint estimation is not as simple as estimation of linear models even if your data "fit within similar range".

I will contact you out of the list for details,

best,
vito

Hi everyone,

while trying to use 'segmented' (R i386 2.15.0 for Windows 32bit OS) to 
determine the breakpoint I got stuck with an error message and I can't find 
solution. It is connected with psi value, and the error says:



Error in seg.glm.fit(y, XREG, Z, PSI, weights, offs, opz) :
   (Some) estimated psi out of its range



This is the code I am using:

library("segmented")
curva<-read.table("lamintr1.txt", header=T)
attach(curva)
fit.glm<-glm(gpp~temp, weight=NULL, family=gaussian)
plot(temp,gpp,xlab=expression("temp"),
ylab="gpp",pch=15,cex=0.8,xlim=c(0,50), ylim=c(0,40))
o1<-glm(gpp ~ temp, weight=NULL, family=gaussian)
os1<-segmented(o1, seg.Z=~temp, psi=15, control=seg.control(n.boot=0,
display=T, it.max=5))
plot(os1, add=TRUE, res=TRUE, se=FALSE, show.gap=TRUE, linkinv = FALSE,
res.col=1, rev.sgn=FALSE, const=0)
summary(os1)


And the most surprising fact is that it works for some of my data, eg:

temp    gpp
5       5.08050857592085
10      9.50809597873546
15      21.0206415558052
20      21.5340216521042
25      22.8455243983385
30      17.6106786978697


but not for the others, that fit within similar range (in what case I tired to 
change the psi value but it didn't help), eg:

temp    gpp
5       10.1494724447878
10      9.64730588470101
15      19.3439579009423
20      20.6756229089911
25      13.7902544619339
30      21.9355758560751


or

temp    gpp
5       8.64380785577685
10      9.47992535226006
15      16.7556554476544
20      14.5189937476639
25      20.6874556832793
30      17.5509059595314


I saw post with similar questons but none of them had the answer I am looking 
for.
Would there be anyone that could help me with this?


Thanks a lot for your time and help.


Best regards,

Szymon
