More Sophisticated Model
If there are too many unknown breaks, then just assume the parameter to be time varying.
The latest method has been used by Bai and Perron (2003) in which multiple structural breaks can be automatically detected from data.

Famous quotes containing the word model:
“The Battle of Waterloo is a work of art with tension and drama with its unceasing change from hope to fear and back again, change which suddenly dissolves into a moment of extreme catastrophe, a model tragedy because the fate of Europe was determined within this individual fate.”
—Stefan Zweig (18811942)
