The breakpoint transforms option lets you use different transformation
equations depending on whether data are less than or greater than a user-specified
'breakpoint' value. You enter the equations and the breakpoint in the following
window:
After entering the breakpoint value, pick the type of equation for data
below the breakpoint value, using the radio buttons at left. Then
click the 'use this equation for data < breakpoint' button, and
enter the a, b, and c values in the first set of edit fields at the bottom
of the window. Then select the equation type for data equal to or greater
than breakpoint, click the 'use this equation for data > breakpoint'
button, and enter the a, b, and c values in the second set of edit fields.
In this example, a 2-way polynomial will be applied to data < breakpoint,
and an exponential equation will be applied to data > breakpoint. When
all is correct, click the 'OK to transform' button to return to the main
Transformations and Conversions window.
