Change point estimation for the telegraph process observed at discrete times
نویسندگان
چکیده
The telegraph process models a random motion with finite velocity and it is usually proposed as an alternative to diffusion models. The process describes the position of a particle moving on the real line, alternatively with constant velocity +v or −v. The changes of direction are governed by an homogeneous Poisson process with rate λ > 0. In this paper, we consider a change point estimation problem for the rate of the underlying Poisson process by means of least squares method. The consistency and the rate of convergence for the change point estimator are obtained and its asymptotic distribution is derived. Applications to real data are also presented.

Change Point Estimation of a Process Variance with a Linear Trend Disturbance
When a change occurs in a process, one expects to receive a signal from a control chart as quickly as possible. Upon the receipt of signal from the control chart a search for identifying the source of disturbance begins. However, searching for assignable cause around the signal time, due to the fact that the disturbance may have manifested itself into the rocess sometimes back, may not always l...
متن کاملParametric estimation for the standard and geometric telegraph process observed at discrete times
The telegraph process X(t), t > 0, (Goldstein, 1951) and the geometric telegraph process S(t) = s0 exp{(μ− 12σ)t+σX(t)} with μ a known constant and σ > 0 a parameter are supposed to be observed at n+1 equidistant time points ti = i∆n, i = 0, 1, . . . , n. For both models λ, the underlying rate of the Poisson process, is a parameter to be estimated. In the geometric case, also σ > 0 has to be es...
متن کاملBayesian Estimation of the Multiple Change Points in Gamma Process Using X-bar chart
The process personnel always seek the opportunity to improve the processes. One of the essential steps for process improvement is to quickly recognize the starting time or the change point of a process disturbance. Different from the traditional normally distributed assumption for a process, this study considers a process which follows a gamma process. In addition, we consider the possibility o...
متن کاملBayesian 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 کاملBayes Estimation for a Simple Step-stress Model with Type-I Censored Data from the Geometric Distribution
This paper focuses on a Bayes inference model for a simple step-stress life test using Type-I censored sample in a discrete set-up. Assuming the failure times at each stress level are geometrically distributed, the Bayes estimation problem of the parameters of interest is investigated in the both of point and interval approaches. To derive the Bayesian point estimators, some various balanced lo...
