Methods for fast multiple change-point detection and estimation

Description

This function estimates the number and locations of change-points in a data sequence, which is modelled as a piecewise-constant function plus i.i.d. Gaussian noise. This is carried out via a two-stage procedure combining solution path generation and model selection methodologies.

Usage

breakfast(x, solution.path = NULL, model.selection = NULL)

Arguments

x

A numeric vector containing the data to be processed

solution.path

A string or a vector of strings containing the name(s) of solution path generating method(s); if individual methods are accessed via this option, default tuning parameters are used. Alternatively, you can directly access each solution path generating method via sol.[method], see below. If both solution.path and model.selection are unspecified, we return the output from the suggested combinations based on their performance, which are: ("idetect", "ic"), ("idetect_seq", "thresh"), ("not", "ic"), ("tguh", "lp"), ("wbs", "ic") and ("wbs2", "sdll"). If solution.path is specified but model.selection is not, we return the output from the specified solution.path methods combined with the suggested model selection methods (respectively) as above.

  • "idetect" IDetect, see sol.idetect

  • "idetect_seq" Sequential IDetect, see sol.idetect_seq

  • "not" Narrowest-Over-Threshold, see sol.not

  • "tguh" Tail-Greedy Unbalanced Haar, see sol.tguh

  • "wbs" Wild Binary Segmentation, see sol.wbs

  • "wbs2" Wild Binary Segmentation 2, see sol.wbs2

  • "all" All of the above

model.selection

A string or a vector of strings containing the name(s) of model selection method(s); if individual methods are accessed via this option, default tuning parameters are used. Alternatively, you can directly access each model selection method via model.[method], see below. If both solution.path and model.selection are unspecified, we return the output from the suggested combinations based on their performance, which are: ("idetect", "ic"), ("idetect_seq", "thresh"), ("not", "ic"), ("tguh", "lp"), ("wbs", "ic") and ("wbs2", "sdll"). If model.selection is specified but solution.path is not, we return the output from the specified model.selection methods combined with the suggested solution path methods (respectively) as above.

  • "ic" Strengthened Schwarz information criterion, see model.ic

  • "lp" Localised pruning, see model.lp

  • "sdll" Steepest Drop to Low Levels method, see model.sdll

  • "thresh" Thresholding, see model.thresh

  • "all" All of the above
