Assuming stationarity is unrealistic in many time series applications. A more realistic alternative is to allow for piecewise stationarity, where the model is allowed to change at given time points. We propose a three-stage procedure for…

Change-points are a routine feature of 'big data' observed in the form of high-dimensional data streams. In many such data streams, the component series possess group structures and it is natural to assume that changes only occur in a small…

This paper considers the problems of detecting a change point and estimating the location in the correlation matrices of a sequence of high-dimensional vectors, where the dimension is large enough to be comparable to the sample size or even…
