R: [R] solving for a transition point in a piecewise nonlinear model

2004-07-14 Thread Vito Muggeo
Dear Robert, In general it may be difficult to estimate a model with generic (possibly nonlinear) functions before/after the changepoint to be estimated too. However if you are willing to make some restrinctions on your F1(.) and F2(.), you could semplify the problem.. For instance, have a look

[R] solving for a transition point in a piecewise nonlinear model

2004-07-13 Thread Robert Musk
I want to fit a piecewise nonlinear model in which the transition point is an estimated parameter. Something like: F(x)=F1(x) when xalpha, F(x)=F2(x) when x=alpha. How can I solve for alpha within the nls call? Thanks, Rob __ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing
