(choose chapter or problem)

Piecewise Linear Regression. Suppose that \(y\) is piecewise linearly related to \(x\). That is, different linear relationships are appropriate over the intervals \(-\infty<x \leq x^{*}\) and \(x^{*}<x<\infty\).
(a) Show how indicator variables can be used to fit such a piecewise linear regression model, assuming that the point \(x^{*}\) is known.
(b) Suppose that at the point \(x^{*}\) a discontinuity occurs in the regression function. Show how indicator variables can be used to incorporate the discontinuity into the model.
(c) Suppose that the point \(x^{*}\) is not known with certainty and must be estimated. Suggest an approach that could be used to fit the piecewise linear regression model.
