In BayesCPclust: A Bayesian Approach for Clustering Constant-Wise Change-Point Data

BayesCPclust

BayesCPclust aims to estimate the change points in constant-wise data sequences while simultaneously performing clustering. A Gibbs sampler algorithm was developed to estimate the number of clusters, cluster assignments, number of change points, their positions, and constant levels.

For more details see paper in arXiv paper link

The following example illustrate the process of performing clustering and estimations for constant-wise change-point data using the data example ‘data’. When there is no prior knowledge of the number of change points and their locations, we suggest to initialize the algortihm with zero change points for all clusters and the position for the change points (Tl) should be defined as the number of observations (M).

d = 2 # two clusters
N = 5 # 5 data sequences
M = 50 # 50 observations for each data sequence
maxIter = 10 # number of Gibbs sampler iterations

data(data)

# initial values for each paramter and each cluster
par.values <- list(K = c(0, 0), Tl = list(50, 50), alpha = list(5, 10))

#cluster assignment for each data sequence
cluster <- kmeans(t(data), 2)$cluster

# variance for each data sequence
sigma2 <- apply(data, 2, var)

res <- run_gibbs(M, N, w = 10, d, as = 2, bs = 100, al = 2, bl = 1000, a = 2, 
b = 1000, alpha0 = 1/100, lambda = 2, maxIter = 10, par.values,
data, cluster, sigma2)
