Consistent nonparametric change point detection combining CUSUM and marked empirical processes

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: A weakly dependent time series regression model with multivariate covariates and univariate observations is considered, for which we develop a procedure to detect whether the nonparametric conditional mean function is stable in time against change point alternatives. Our proposal is based on a modified CUSUM type test procedure, which uses a sequential marked empirical process of residuals. We show weak convergence of the considered process to a centered Gaussian process under the null hypothesis of no change in the mean function and a stationarity assumption. This requires some sophisticated arguments for sequential empirical processes of weakly dependent variables. As a consequence we obtain convergence of Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Cram'er-von Mises type test statistics. The proposed procedure acquires a very simple limiting distribution and nice consistency properties, features from which related tests are lacking. We moreover suggest a bootstrap version of the procedure and discuss its applicability in the case of unstable variances.


The paper puts forward a modified CUSUM type test approach with a sequential marked empirical process for a weakly dependent time series regression model with multivariate covariates and univariate observations, in order to check the stability in time of the nonparametric conditional mean function against change point alternatives. The model is quite general, with few constraints. A bootstrap version is also presented in case of unstable variance.
