The rough idea is to contsruct one model that switches between two forms based discrete values of a new dimension parameter. Could be, say, 1 for the first data set and 2 for the second one. http://forums.wolfram.com/mathgroup/archive/2004/Oct/msg00031.html http://forums.wolfram.com/mathgroup/archive/2006/Apr/msg00011.html http://forums.wolfram.com/mathgroup/archive/2006/Apr/msg00020.html http://forums.wolfram.com/mathgroup/archive/2010/Apr/msg00280.html Daniel Lichtblau Wolfram Research
