  • ‘NOT’ Changepoint Analysis

    Early works on the Change-Point analysis mainly appears from the papers relating to quality control. CUSUM detection method uses the cumulative sum of the deviations of the observations from the model to determine the change points. The method is later generalized by David V. Hinkley (1970) that the problem is equivalent to detecting whether the…
