    Fitting two intersecting linear least squares lines to minimize combined residuals

    Hotvette - No that wouldn't work but thanks anyways RGV - That method is exactly what I need. Thank you. Just wondering what's it called. Also, how would I go about minimizing S (assuming I have r) ... would I take the derivatives wrt a,b,c and then solve for a,b,c then plug them back into the...

    Fitting two intersecting linear least squares lines to minimize combined residuals

    Hey, I have a graph for which I am supposed to fit two linear least squares line and minimize the combined residuals (the lines intersect)... I would really appreciate some info about how to do this or what this type of data analysis is called so i can google the step-by-step method. Thanks!

    Undergrad Fitting two intersecting least squares lines with minimized combined residuals

    Hey, Not sure if this is the right section to post this but ... I have a graph for which I am supposed to fit two linear least squares line and minimize the combined residuals (the lines intersect)... I would really appreciate some info about how to do this or what this type of data analysis...
