Estimation of number and location of change points in ‘mean-shift’ (‘piecewise constant’ or ‘step-function’) models. Particularly useful (but not confined) to model genomic sequences of continuous measurements.

Package cumSeg
estimates the number and location of change points in ‘mean-shift’
(also said ‘piecewise constant’ or ‘step-function’) models. These models are particularly useful in Biology, Medicine, or Genomics, where
it is of interest to know the location of changes in some genomic sequences (e.g. in array comparative genomic hybridization analysis).
The algorithm works by first estimating an high number of change points (via the efficient ‘segmented’ algorithm of Muggeo (2003))
and then by applying the lars algorithm of Efron et al. (2004) to select some of them via a generalized BIC criterion.
The procedure appears to be (somewhat) robust to some forms of model mis-specifications and,
from a computational standpoint, it is substantially independent of the number of change points to be estimated.
