Abstract

In this paper we present statistical procedures to do inference about possible change points based on the p value of the test used to assess the goodness-of-fit of the longitudinal model. The first of these procedures deals with a few statistical tests which check for the existence of any change point in the data set under study and the second one considers the estimation of such change points. In addition, we also provide a statistical test to determine whether a specific time point is a change point or not. The effectiveness of the proposed methods are demonstrated through simulation studies.
