How to recognize discontinuity of slope in numerical data

20 views (last 30 days)
I am dealing with a set of data that, when plotted, shows a breaking point as shown in circles. How can I identify these points in the data without needing to plot them every time? I tried looking for discontinuity in the sllope, but that did not help.

Take the second derivative --
d2y = gradient(x,gradient(x,y))
Look for the spot where the second derivative changes from negative to positive.

Thanks Walter. I guess that will help, but I guess it is gradient(gradient(y,x),x)
Right?
