โฆ Synopsis
A method is presented for determining the breakpoint of a line which suddenly changes slope at some unknown point. A statistical test is given for testing whether the broken line is a significantly better fit to the data than a single straight line. An approximate confidence interval can be obtained for the position of the breakpoint.
