Dear Robert,
In general it may be difficult to estimate a model with generic (possibly
nonlinear) functions before/after the changepoint to be estimated too.
However if you are willing to make some restrinctions on your F1(.) and
F2(.), you could semplify the problem..
For instance, have a look to the strucchange and segmented packages. The
former mainly deals with time series data, the latter with GLM.
hope this helps,
vito
PS Of course you can always perform a grid-search algorithm by fitting
different models for each fixed alpha, and picking the value that maximizes
the Lik..
