A program for transition point analysis of experimental data.

Abstract A FORTRAN IV program is presented which determines transition points for data that can be represented by a set of intersecting regression lines. Initial estimates are not required, and no specific spacing of the data is needed. A spline function is used to reduce the large number of computational steps arising from complex linear models while an iterative least squares procedure is used to obtain the final solution. Examples of experimental and artificially generated data are presented along with an F-statistic for differences in slope at the transition point.
