Maximum Likelihood Estimation of Multiple Change Points
多个变化点的最大似然估计
Maximum likelihood estimation of the locations of changes in sequences of independent categorical random variables when there are known lower bounds on the lengths of the sub-sequences between the change points is discussed. A method is developed which finds one of the maximum likelihood solutions. The problem of estimating the number of changed segments is discussed and some numerical results about the precision of the estimates of the locations of changes are presented.…
