高维在线变点检测中的统计推断AI 解读

We introduce and study two new inferential challenges associated with the sequential detection of change in a high-dimensional mean vector. First, we seek a confidence interval for the changepoint, and second, we estimate the set of indices of coordinates in which the mean changes. We propose an online algorithm that produces an interval with guaranteed nominal coverage, and whose length is, with high probability, of the same order as the average detection delay, up to a…

异质缺失下的高维变点估计AI 解读

Abstract We propose a new method for changepoint estimation in partially observed, high-dimensional time series that undergo a simultaneous change in mean in a sparse subset of coordinates. Our first methodological contribution is to introduce a ‘MissCUSUM’ transformation (a generalisation of the popular cumulative sum statistics), that captures the interaction between the signal strength and the level of missingness in each coordinate. In order to borrow strength across the…

高维多尺度在线变点检测AI 解读

Abstract We introduce a new method for high-dimensional, online changepoint detection in settings where a p-variate Gaussian data stream may undergo a change in mean. The procedure works by performing likelihood ratio tests against simple alternatives of different scales in each coordinate, and then aggregating test statistics across scales and coordinates. The algorithm is online in the sense that both its storage requirements and worst-case computational complexity per new…

稀疏高维变点检测的极小极大速率AI 解读

We study the detection of a sparse change in a high-dimensional mean vector as a minimax testing problem. Our first main contribution is to derive the exact minimax testing rate across all parameter regimes for n independent, p-variate Gaussian observations. This rate exhibits a phase transition when the sparsity level is of order ploglog(8n) and has a very delicate dependence on the sample size: in a certain sparsity regime, it involves a triple iterated logarithmic factor…

基于稀疏投影的高维变点估计AI 解读

Summary Change points are a very common feature of ‘big data’ that arrive in the form of a data stream. We study high dimensional time series in which, at certain time points, the mean structure changes in a sparse subset of the co-ordinates. The challenge is to borrow strength across the co-ordinates to detect smaller changes than could be observed in any individual component series. We propose a two-stage procedure called inspect for estimation of the change points: first,…
