Nonparametric Tests for Nonstandard Change-Point Problems
We consider independent random elements $X_1, \ldots, X_n, n \in \mathbb{N}$, with values in a measurable space $(\mathscr{X}, \mathscr{B})$ so that $X_1, \ldots, X_{\lbrack n\theta\rbrack}$ have a common distribution $\nu_1$ and the remaining $X_{\lbrack n\theta\rbrack + 1}, \ldots, X_n$ have a common distribution $\nu_2 \neq \nu_1$, for some $\theta \in (0, 1)$. The change point $\theta$ as well as the distributions are unknown. A family of tests is introduced for the…
