Testing for a structural change of gradient in regression modelling (2010)
Journal Article
White, P., Webber, D. J., & Helvin, A. (2010). Testing for a structural change of gradient in regression modelling. Empirical Economics Letters, 9(8), 819-826

We present a “broken stick” method to model structural changes of gradient in a regression model. The assessment of the statistical significance of the nodes in the model is assessed using bootstrap techniques. The method is illustrated using output...
