Nonanticipating estimation applied to sequential analysis and changepoint detection
非预见估计在序贯分析与变点检测中的应用
Suppose a process yields independent observations whose distributions belong to a family parameterized by θ∈Θ. When the process is in control, the observations are i.i.d. with a known parameter value θ0. When the process is out of control, the parameter changes. We apply an idea of Robbins and Siegmund [Proc. Sixth Berkeley Symp. Math. Statist. Probab. 4 (1972) 37–41] to construct a class of sequential tests and detection schemes whereby the unknown post-change parameters…
