Dear R-helpers, a S-code for piecewise regressions was provided by Toms & Lesperance (2003) Ecology, 84, 2034-2041 (paper can be found on the web).The code is quite complete with different types of transitions around breakpoints and model selection fonctions. It doesn't work directly under R due to some "translation" problems I guess. However I reckon that it would be a valuable add-on to R, so if anyone that knows both S and R syntax (I don't) doesn't know what to do during the week-end, it could provide some entertainment... attached is the code. regards, simon " R is love" (L.D.) -------------- next part -------------- An embedded and charset-unspecified text was scrubbed...

Umm, I don't think posting 1200 lines on nonworking code to r-help is the right way to go about this, especially since the code is not yours. I'm pretty sure you didn't read (or if you did, you certainly didn't understand) http://www.esapubs.org/archive/copyright.htm which is the copyright stated on http://www.esapubs.org/archive/ecol/E084/047/suppl-1.htm

The right way is of course to volunteer as maintainer for an R package (maybe after finding someone to help you iron out the wrinkles), contact the authors and the journal to get permission to publish under the GPL and submit to CRAN.
