Hi. Sorry about that... pp_regress is of course one of mine.
Basically it just wrap up REGRESS because I could never remember
how to use it, and works for a particular type of field too
(pp-fields). Find it at:

http://www.antarctica.ac.uk/met/wmc/idl/pp_regress.pro

You'll want to use it with arrays (not structures) and use /array
for your purposes. The line above is just a Monte-Carlo thingy
to test that the statistics coming out are about correct (a useful
test for those of us who can't do Big Maths since our brains
decayed).

BTW, if anyone is interested in break statistics in time series
(Lund/Wang) see:
