A method of detecting changes in the behaviour of locally stationary sequences

Jiří Michálek

Abstract:

A method for the detection of abrupt changes in the course of a locally stationary sequence is proposed. The method is based on a suitable approximation of an observed sequence by autoregressive models that are compared by means of a similarity measure derived from the asymptotic $I$-divergence rate. The method is illustrated by several numerical results.
