Maximum likelihood estimates of the parameters of a mixture of two regression lines

The method of maximum likelihood is used to estimate the parameters of a mixture of two regression lines, The results of a small simulation study show that when the sample size exceeds 250 and the regression lines are more than three standard deviations apart for at least one half of the data, the maximum likelihood estimates are reliable. When this is net the case their sampling variances are so large that the estimates may not be reliable.
