چکیده

There are many different ways in which change point analysis can be performed, from purely parametric methods to those that are distribution free. The ecp package is designed to perform multiple change point analysis while making as few assumptions as possible. While many other change point methods are applicable only for univariate data, this R package is suitable for both univariate and multivariate observations. Hierarchical estimation can be based upon either a divisive or agglomerative algorithm. Divisive estimation sequentially identifies change points via a bisection algorithm. The agglomerative algorithm estimates change point locations by determining an optimal segmentation. Both approaches are able to detect any type of distributional change within the data. This provides an advantage over many existing change point algorithms which are only able to detect changes within the marginal distributions.

LogConcDEAD: An R Package for Maximum Likelihood Estimation of a Multivariate Log-Concave Density

In this document we introduce the R package LogConcDEAD (Log-concave density estimation in arbitrary dimensions). Its main function is to compute the nonparametric maximum likelihood estimator of a log-concave density. Functions for plotting, sampling from the density estimate and evaluating the density estimate are provided. All of the functions available in the package are illustrated using s...

Invariant coordinate selection for multivariate data analysis - the package ICS

Invariant coordinate selection (ICS ) has recently been introduced by Tyler et al. (2008) as a method for exploring multivariate data. It includes as shown in Oja et al. (2006) as a special case a method for recovering the unmixing matrix in independent components analysis (ICA). It also serves as a basis for classes of multivariate nonparametric tests. The aim of this paper is to briefly expla...

A Comparison of Thin Plate and Spherical Splines with Multiple Regression

Thin plate and spherical splines are nonparametric methods suitable for spatial data analysis. Thin plate splines acquire efficient practical and high precision solutions in spatial interpolations. Two components in the model fitting is considered: spatial deviations of data and the model roughness. On the other hand, in parametric regression, the relationship between explanatory and response v...

Parametric and Nonparametric Sequential Change Detection in R: The cpm Package

The change point model (CPM) framework introduced in Hawkins, Qiu, and Kang (2003) and Hawkins and Zamba (2005) provides an effective and computationally efficient method for sequentially detecting multiple changes points in streams of Gaussian random variables, when no information is available regarding the parameters of the distribution in the various segments. It has since been extended in v...
