Test for Change-Point Detection in Univariate Observations Sensitive to Changes in the Autocopula

Description

Nonparametric test for change-point detection particularly sensitive to changes in the autocopula of univariate continuous observations. Approximate p-values for the test statistic are obtained by means of a multiplier approach. Details can be found in the first reference.

Usage

cpAutocop(x, lag = 1, b = NULL, bivariate = FALSE,
          weights = c("parzen", "bartlett"), m = 5,
          N = 1000, init.seq = NULL, include.replicates = FALSE)

Arguments

x	a one-column matrix containing continuous observations.
lag	an integer specifying at which lag to consider the autocopula; the autocopula is a (lag+1)-dimensional copula.
b	strictly positive integer specifying the value of the bandwidth parameter determining the serial dependence when generating dependent multiplier sequences using the 'moving average approach'; see Section 5 of the second reference. If set to NULL, b will be estimated using the function bOptEmpProc(); see the first reference.
bivariate	a logical specifying whether the test should focus only on the bivariate margin of the (lag+1)-dimensional autocopula obtained from the first and the last dimension.
weights	a string specifying the kernel for creating the weights used in the generation of dependent multiplier sequences within the 'moving average approach'; see Section 5 of the second reference.
m	a strictly positive integer specifying the number of points of the uniform grid on (0,1) involved in the estimation of the bandwidth parameter; see Section 5 of the second reference.
N	number of multiplier replications.
init.seq	a sequence of independent standard normal variates of length N * (nrow(x) - lag + 2 * (b - 1)) used to generate dependent multiplier sequences.
include.replicates	a logical specifying whether the object of class htest returned by the function (see below) will include the multiplier replicates.

Details

The approximate p-value is computed as

(0.5 +\sum_{i=1}^N\mathbf{1}_{\{S_i\ge S\}})/(N+1),

where S and S_i denote the test statistic and a multiplier replication, respectively. This ensures that the approximate p-value is a number strictly between 0 and 1, which is sometimes necessary for further treatments.

Value

An object of class htest which is a list, some of the components of which are

statistic	value of the test statistic.
p.value	corresponding approximate p-value.
cvm	the values of the length(x)-lag-1 intermediate Cramér-von Mises change-point statistics; the test statistic is defined as the maximum of those.
b	the value of parameter b.

Note

This is a tests for a continuous univariate time series.

Examples

## AR1 example
n <- 200
k <- n/2 ## the true change-point
x <- matrix(c(arima.sim(list(ar = -0.5), n = k),
              arima.sim(list(ar = 0.5), n = n - k)))
cp <- cpAutocop(x)
cp
## Estimated change-point
