Many time series problems feature epidemic changes - segments where a parameter deviates from a background baseline. The number and location of such changes can be estimated in a principled way by existing detection methods, providing that…

We study the problem of change point detection for covariance matrices in high dimensions. We assume that we observe a sequence {X_i}_{i=1,...,n} of independent and centered p-dimensional sub-Gaussian random vectors whose covariance…

The critical point is a fixed point in finite-size scaling. To quantify the behaviour of such a fixed point, we define, at a given temperature and scaling exponent ratio, the width of scaled observables for different sizes. The minimum of…

It is difficult to discriminate between the state of initial time $t_0$ and that of time $t_0+\Delta t$. The task of discriminating between the two states can be interpreted as the hypothesis testing problem as to a state $\rho$ deciding…

We propose a new, generic and flexible methodology for nonparametric function estimation, in which we first estimate the number and locations of any features that may be present in the function, and then estimate the function parametrically…

In this paper, we study the problem of multiple change-point detection for a univariate sequence under the epidemic setting, where the behavior of the sequence alternates between a common normal state and different epidemic states. This is…
