1. Homework assignment? We don't do homework here. 2. If not, a mixture model of some sort? I suggest you state the context of the problem more fully. R has several packages to do mixture modeling, if that's what you're trying to do.
3. In any case, this cannot be done with lm() (at least without tricks). 4. In your notation below, the "separate" regressions can be stacked into a single constrained regression model. 5. You might do better to find local statistical help, as you may have bitten off more than you can chew. -- Bert On Mon, Mar 19, 2012 at 11:29 AM, Diviya Smith <diviya.sm...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello there, > > I am new to using regression in R.
