tsmcplm: Two stage multiple change point detection in linear models.

In TSMCP: Fast Two Stage Multiple Change Point Detection

Two stage multiple change point detection in linear models.

Description

This function provides a two‐stage procedure for simultaneously detecting multiple change‐points in linear models. In the cutting stage, the change‐point problem is converted into a model selection problem so that a modern model selection method can be applied. In the refining stage, the change‐points obtained in the cutting stage are finalized via a refining method. The tuning parameter lambda is chosen by BIC.

Usage

tsmcplm(Y, X, method = c("lasso", "adapt", "mcp", "scad"), c)

Arguments

Y	an response vector.
X	the n-by-p design matrix.
method	the method to be used by lasso, adaptive lasso, mcp or scad.
c	ceiling(c*sqrt(length(Y))) is the length of each segments in spliting stage.

Value

tsmcplm returns an object of class "tsmcplm". An object of class "tsmcplm" is a list containing the following components:

change.points

estimators of change points.
