Conditional piece-wise dependent regression
Hi, after reading some R docs, I couldn?t figure out how can I find the solution for the following problem, therefore I would ask this friendly list for an advice. We?re making a least square approximation for an experiment described by the following model: T is the time, Y is some measured value.
From time=0 till time=U:
Y = b + p*T
From time=U and on (some effect added):
Y = b + p*T + q*(T-U)
From time=V and on (some additional effect added):
Y = b + p*T + q*(T-U) + r*(T-V) Measured: Yi, Ti pairs. Wanted: b, p, q, r. b and p are the same for all time ranges; q is the same for time=U and on. Thanks, Arie.
