[R] Piecewise linear regression with RMA

2007-02-28 Thread amsegura
Hi, I'm working in crustacean maturity, using breakpoint analysis. I used total length and Carapace length (linearly related) to find a break point, wich is actually the size at maturity. Both sizes are measured with error, so Modell II aplies. Piecewise regression uses model I to find breakpoint

It is conventional to fit piecewise linear models by assuming Gaussian error and using least squares methods, but one can argue that median regression provides a more robust approach to this problem. You might consider the following fit: x = c (6.25,6.25,12.50,12.50,18.75,25.00,25.00,25.
