Re: st: nonlinear regression with restrictions: Oops

[Steven Samuels <samplerx@earthlink.net>]

Oops, I slipped twice on the send button; Sorry.

nl (y = {a1=?} + {a2=?}*x + (x>{b=?})*{a3=0}*(x-{b})^2)


Where you should substitute initial values of a1, a2 and b for the  
"?" from plots.  See the manual on "nl" for options, robust standard  
errors, and so on.
