The design of reliable indicators to anticipate critical transitions in complex systems is an im portant task in order to detect a coming sudden regime shift and to take action in order to either prevent it or mitigate its consequences. We…
Measurements of many biological processes are characterized by an initial trend period followed by an equilibrium period. Scientists may wish to quantify features of the two periods, as well as the timing of the change point. Specifically,…
