Breakfast: Methods for Fast Multiple Change-point Detection and Estimation

Description

A developing software suite for multiple change-point detection/estimation (data segmentation) in data sequences.

Details

The current version implements the Gaussian mean-shift model, in which the data are assumed to be a piecewise-constant signal observed with i.i.d. Gaussian noise. Change-point detection in breakfast is carried out in two stages: (i) computation of a solution path, and (ii) model selection along the path. A variety of solution path and model selection methods are included, which can be accessed individually, or through breakfast. Currently supported solution path methods are: sol.idetect, sol.idetect_seq, sol.wbs, sol.wbs2, sol.not and sol.tguh.

Currently supported model selection methods are: model.ic, model.lp, model.sdll model.thresh.

Check back future versions for more change-point models and further methods.
