“…The null hypothesis tested by both CUSUM and MOSUM is that regression coefficients of a linear model are constant over time; the alternative hypothesis is that the coefficients change over time due to influence of an external factor. Both methods have been used for change detection in eco-hydrology (de Jong et al, 2012;Verbesselt et al, 2010;Vogl and Lopes, 2010;Webb et al, 2012;de Jong et al, 2013;Verbesselt et al, 2012;Tsutsumida et al, 2013;Forkel et al, 2013), economic analysis (Caporale et al, 2011;Ghosh, 2009;Olmo et al, 2011;Tiwari et al, 2012) and quality control (Saghaei et al, 2009). However, CUSUM is considered to be less sensitive to certain changes in regression coefficients especially if the changes occur in the later dates of the period under consideration (Bauer and Hackl, 1978;Chu et al, 1995).…”
