Use nls directly:
y <- c(0.46, 0.47, 0.57, 0.61, 0.62, 0.68, 0.69, 0.78, 0.7, 0.74,
0.77, 0.78, 0.74, 0.8, 0.8, 0.78)
x <- seq_along(x)
Mean <- function(x, alpha, beta, gamma) {
pmin(alpha + beta*x + gamma*x*x, alpha - beta^2/(4 * gamma))
}
fm <- nls(y ~ Mean(x, alpha, beta, gamma), start = list(alpha = 0.45,
beta = 0.05, gamma = -0.0025))
fm
summary(fm)
plot(y ~ x)
lines(fitted(fm) ~ x)
