you can just subtract 4.3 from the independent variable and then do through zero. That will Give you a force through 4.3. I don't undersarand the second part of your statement.

I was able to find out how to force it through the origin but this does not work for other values. I am also interested in forcing the regression parameters obtained from one regression in another regression with a subset of the data. Are either of these possible in R? I have been searching the help guide for hours and have been unsuccessful.
