A historical note: The two-piece model has long been called a "hockey
stick" model. My oldest reference with this name dates to 1976*,
although the model itself is older. The location of the threshold is
an important parameter in the literature of this model. I recall
using non-linear regression in NCSS to find a CI for the location. A
google search shows that more recently bootstrapping has been used.
