A novel changepoint detection algorithm
نویسنده
چکیده
We propose an algorithm for simultaneously detecting and locating changepoints in a time series, and a framework for predicting the distribution of the next point in the series. The kernel of the algorithm is a system of equations that computes, for each index i, the probability that the last (most recent) change point occurred at i. We evaluate this algorithm by applying it to the change point detection problem and comparing it to the generalized likelihood ratio (GLR) algorithm. We find that our algorithm is as good as GLR, or better, over a wide range of scenarios, and that the advantage increases as the signal-to-noise ratio decreases.

CHAMP: Changepoint Detection Using Approximate Model Parameters
We introduce CHAMP, an algorithm for online Bayesian changepoint detection in settings where it is difficult or undesirable to integrate over the parameters of candidate models. Rather than requiring integration of the parameters of candidate models as in several other Bayesian approaches, we require only the ability to fit model parameters to data segments. This approach greatly simplifies the...
متن کاملTHE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA DEPARTMENT OF STATISTICS TECHNICAL REPORT #236 On-line Changepoint Detection and Parameter Estimation for Genome-wide Transcript Analysis
We consider the problem of identifying novel RNA transcripts using tiling arrays. Standard approaches to this problem rely on the calculation of a sliding window statistic or on simple changepoint models. These methods suffer from several drawbacks including the need to determine a threshold to label transcript regions and/or specify the number of transcripts. In this paper, we propose a Bayesi...
متن کاملBayesian Online Changepoint Detection
Changepoints are abrupt variations in the generative parameters of a data sequence. Online detection of changepoints is useful in modelling and prediction of time series in application areas such as finance, biometrics, and robotics. While frequentist methods have yielded online filtering and prediction techniques, most Bayesian papers have focused on the retrospective segmentation problem. Her...
متن کاملA log-linear time algorithm for constrained changepoint detection
Changepoint detection is a central problem in time series and genomic data. For some applications, it is natural to impose constraints on the directions of changes. One example is ChIP-seq data, for which adding an up-down constraint improves peak detection accuracy, but makes the optimization problem more complicated. We show how a recently proposed functional pruning technique can be adapted ...
متن کاملLearning Articulation Changepoint Models from Demonstration
We introduce CHAMP, an algorithm for online Bayesian changepoint detection in settings where it is difficult or undesirable to integrate over the parameters of candidate models. CHAMP is used in combination with several articulation models to detect changes in articulated motion of objects in the world, allowing a robot to infer physically-grounded task information. We focus on three settings w...
متن کاملOn-line changepoint detection and parameter estimation with application to genomic data
An efficient on-line changepoint detection algorithm for an important class of Bayesian product partition models has been recently proposed by Fearnhead and Liu (in J. R. Stat. Soc. B 69, 589–605, 2007). However a severe limitation of this algorithm is that it requires the knowledge of the static parameters of the model to infer the number of changepoints and their locations. We propose here an...
