The problem of parameter estimation by the continuous time observations of a deterministic signal in white Gaussian noise is considered. The asymptotic properties of the maximum likelihood estimator are described in the asymptotic of small noise (large signal-to-noise ratio). We are interested in the situation when there is a misspecification in the regularity conditions. In particular it is supposed that the statistician uses a discontinuous (change-point type) model of signal, when the true signal is continuously differentiable function of the unknown parameter.
