  <dc:description>Fitting regression models where, in addition to possible linear terms, one or more covariates have segmented (i.e., broken-line or piece-wise linear) or stepmented (i.e. piece-wise constant) effects. Multiple breakpoints for the same variable are allowed. 
  The estimation method is discussed in Muggeo (2003, &lt;doi:10.1002/sim.1545&gt;) and 
  illustrated in Muggeo (2008, &lt;https://www.r-project.org/doc/Rnews/Rnews_2008-1.pdf&gt;). An approach for hypothesis testing is presented 
  in Muggeo (2016, &lt;doi:10.1080/00949655.2016.1149855&gt;), and interval estimation for the breakpoint is discussed in Muggeo (2017, &lt;doi:10.1111/anzs.12200&gt;). 
  Segmented mixed models, i.e. random effects in the change point, are discussed in Muggeo (2014, &lt;doi:10.1177/1471082X13504721&gt;).
  Estimation of piecewise-constant relationships and changepoints (mean-shift models) is 
  discussed in Fasola et al. (2018, &lt;doi:10.1007/s00180-017-0740-4&gt;).</dc:description>
