wbs.lsw: Change point detection for a nonstationary process using Wild Binary Segmentation

Description

The function returns the estimated locations of the change-points in a nonstationary time series. Currently only the Method 2 of aggregation is implemented.

Usage

wbs.lsw(y, C_i = tau.fun(y), scales = NULL, M = 0, cstar = 0.75, lambda = 0.75)

Arguments

y

The time series.

C_i

A vector of threshold parameters for different scales.

scales

The wavelet periodogram scales to be used. If NULL (DEFAULT) then this is selected as described in the main text.

M

The maximum number of random intervals drawn. If M=0 (DEFAULT) this is selected to be a linear function of the sample size of y. If M=1 then the segmentation is conducted via the Binary segmentation method.

cstar

This refers to the unbalanceness parameter \(c_{\star}\).

lambda

This parameter defines the maximum number of the wavelet periodogam scales. This is used if scales = NULL.

Value

cp.bef

Returns the estimated change-points before post-processing

cp.aft

Returns the estimated change-points after post-processing
