Is a 95% CI on a breakpoint fixed effect legitimate when the nonlinear
equation is continuous but not differentiable at the breakpoint?
I used the nlme to generate a non-linear mixed-effects piecewise model
with initial slope zero prior to an unknown breakpoint. It did give a
95% CI for the breakpoint.
Thanks
Erik
whole model is complex, but here is the simple equation used:
dr.hockey<-function(a,b,x,brk){
a+ifelse(x<=brk,0,b*(x-brk))}
