Syed - I don't know if this helps you, but -qreg- (median regression)
minimizes the sum of absolute errors (clearly you can't minimize the sum
of errors).

Subject: st: Estimating the Thresholds

I was curious as to what function (if there are any) would be
appropriate for estimating the thresholds in a linear regression (as
suggested by Hansen 1996, 2000) by minimizing the sum of errors. I was
thinking of using some spline function, but wasn't sure as to which one.
I've tried searching online, and that doesn't help. I haven't been able
to get in touch with anyone who deals with this either. If anyone has
any words of wisdom ...
