Popis: In this study, we develop robust versions of the change point estimation methods given by Hudson (1966) and Muggeo (2003) in the two-phase linear regression model. We use a modified maximum likelihood (MML) methodology originated by Tiku (1967, 1968) when the error terms of a two-phase linear regression model are independently and identically distributed as long-tailed symmetric. Proposed estimators are shown to be more efficient and robust using the Monte-Carlo simulation. Julious’s (Julious, 2001) metabolic pathway data is analyzed in the application part of the study. It is shown that for this data using a LS estimator is inappropriate since there is an outlying observation. We therefore use proposed robust estimators instead of LS estimators and obtain more reliable results.
