Testing that a Gaussian Process is Stationary
A class of procedures is proposed for testing the stationarity of a Gaussian process or the homogeneity of independent processes. Requiring very limited prior knowledge of model structure, the methods can detect changes or differences in mean, in variance, in covariances and even in law. Although the theory of the stationarity test is worked out only for processes whose realizations are stationary over "epochs" separated by known change points, Monte Carlo evidence indicates…
