“…Detecting abrupt changes in time-series data, called change-point detection, has attracted researchers in the statistics and data mining communities for decades (Basseville and Nikiforov, 1993;Gustafsson, 2000;Brodsky and Darkhovsky, 1993). Depending on the delay of detection, change-point detection methods can be classified into two categories: Real-time detection (Adams and MacKay, 2007;Garnett et al, 2009;Paquet, 2007) and retrospective detection (Basseville and Nikiforov, 1993;Takeuchi and Yamanishi, 2006;Moskvina and Zhigljavsky, 2003a).…”
