Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立中興大學 === 應用數學系 === 84 === A simple method is proposed to detect the number of change points in a sequence of independent normal random variables. An estimator to maximize some criterion, saySC(k), which is to maximize the log likelihood function withsome penalty term is used in detection. Under some mild assumptions, the consistency of the estimator for the true number of change points and the boundedness between the estimated change locations and the true change locations are obtained.
