Abstract
This article deals with off-line detection of change points, for time series of independent observations, when the number of change points is unknown. We propose a sequential analysis method with linear time and memory complexity. Our method is based, on a filtered derivative method that detects the right change points as well as false ones. We improve the filtered derivative method by adding a second step in which we compute the p-values associated to every single potential change point. Then, we eliminate false alarms; that is, the change points that have p-values smaller than a given critical level. Next, we apply our method and penalized least squares criterion procedure to detect change points on simulated data sets and then we compare them. Eventually, we apply the filtered derivative with p-value method to the segmentation of heartbeat time series, and the detection of change points in the average daily volume of financial time series.
