Fw: [SPSSX-L] Using a segmented linear regression to find a transition point

Jon K Peck




Spline is one useful option, but discretizing and looking at the transformation plot would give insight into the point(s) at which things change.

Hi Jon.  I don't have access to CATREG, but I have taken a look at the
tutorial in the Help.  I may be misunderstanding, but I don't think
discretization is what the OP is after here.  It would be one of the various
spline options, wouldn't it?

Thanks,
Bruce
