Re: st: nonlinear regression with restrictions

[Steven Samuels <samplerx@earthlink.net>]

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.
