Monte Carlo Analysis of Change Point Estimators
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider several estimators for the change point in a sequence of independent observations. These are defined as the maximizing points of usually used statistics for nonparametric change point detection problems. Our investigations focus on the non asymptotic behaviour of the proposed estimators for sample sizes commonly observed in practice. We conducted a broad Monte Carlo study to compare these change point estimators, also investigating their properties and potential practical applications.

Bayesian change point estimation in Poisson-based control charts
Precise identification of the time when a process has changed enables process engineers to search for a potential special cause more effectively. In this paper, we develop change point estimation methods for a Poisson process in a Bayesian framework. We apply Bayesian hierarchical models to formulate the change point where there exists a step < /div> change, a linear trend and a known multip...
متن کاملIdentifying the change time of multivariate binomial processes for step changes and drifts
In this paper, a new control chart to monitor multi-binomial processes is first proposed based on a transformation method. Then, the maximum likelihood estimators of change points designed for both step changes and linear-trend disturbances are derived. At the end, the performances of the proposed change-point estimators are evaluated and are compared using some Monte Carlo simulation experimen...
متن کاملInferences for the Change-point of the Exponentiated Weibull Hazard Function
• In many applications of lifetime data analysis, it is important to perform inferences about the change-point of the hazard function. The change-point could be a maximum for unimodal hazard functions or a minimum for bathtub forms of hazard functions and is usually of great interest in medical or industrial applications. For lifetime distributions where this change-point of the hazard function...
متن کاملA Note on Change Point Detection Using Weighted Least Square
This paper is concerned with the application of weighted least square method in change point analysis. Testing shift in the mean normal observations with time varying variances as well as of a GARCH time series are considered. For both cases, the weighted estimators are given and their asymptotic behaviors are studied. It is also described that how the resampling methods like Monte Carlo and bo...
متن کاملPositive-Shrinkage and Pretest Estimation in Multiple Regression: A Monte Carlo Study with Applications
Consider a problem of predicting a response variable using a set of covariates in a linear regression model. If it is a priori known or suspected that a subset of the covariates do not significantly contribute to the overall fit of the model, a restricted model that excludes these covariates, may be sufficient. If, on the other hand, the subset provides useful information, shrinkage meth...
