Hello, R users,
I applied segmented regression method contributed by Muggeo and got
different slope estimates depending on the initial break points. The results
are listed below and I'd like to know what is a reasonable approach handling
this kinds of problem. I think applying various initial break points is
certainly not a efficient approach. Is there any other methods to deal with
segmented regression? From a graph, v shapes are more clear at 1.2 and 1.5
break points than 1.5 and 1.7. Appreciate your help.
Result1:
Initial break points are 1.2 and 1.5. The estimated break points and slopes:
Estimated Break-Point(s):
Est. St.Err
Mean.Vel 1.285 0.05258
1.652 0.01247
Est. St.Err. t value CI(95%).l
CI(95%).u
slope1 0.4248705 0.3027957 1.403159 -0.1685982 1.018339
slope2 2.3281445 0.3079903 7.559149 1.7244946 2.931794
slope3 9.5425516 0.7554035 12.632390 8.0619879 11.023115
Adjusted R-squared: 0.9924.
Result2:
