TITLE: “Change-point detection for locally dependent data”
ABSTRACT: In a sequence of multivariate observations or object data, such as networks, local dependence is common and could lead to false change-point discoveries. We propose a new way of permutation, circular block permutation with a random starting point, to address this problem. This permutation scheme is studied on a non-parametric change-point detection framework that utilizes similarity information among the observations, resulting in a generic framework for change-point analysis for locally dependent data. We also derive an analytic formula to approximate the significance of the test, making the method fast applicable to long data sequences.
