Simultaneous Change-Point Inference for High-Dimensional Functional Time Series

Abstract

We develop a framework for simultaneous change-point inference of high-dimensional functional time series. The observations are modeled as temporally dependent vectors whose coordinates take values in possibly different separable Hilbert spaces, thereby covering a broad class of functional data. Heterogeneous mean changes may occur at coordinate-specific locations, and the contemporaneous dependence across coordinates is left unrestricted. Our procedure is based on coordinatewise cumulative-sum statistics and a residual block multiplier bootstrap that provides a common critical value for the global test and all coordinatewise decisions. We establish a nonasymptotic Gaussian approximation, quantitative nonasymptotic bounds for strong family-wise error control under arbitrary mixtures of changed and unchanged coordinates, covariance-adaptive detection guarantees, and simultaneous high-probability bounds for change-point localization. The bounds accommodate high-dimensional regimes in which the number of functional coordinates grows exponentially in a power of the sample size. We investigate finite-sample performance in simulations and illustrate the method using river discharge curves and high-frequency financial log returns.

Change Point Detection and Localization in High-Dimensional Time Series

We present new inference tools for change point detection in high-dimensional time series. We discuss two distinct statistical applications: First, sequential change point testing in an incoming data-stream. Second, retrospective localization of multiple changes, with confidence intervals at a globally controlled error...

Online detection of distributional changes for time series in metric spaces

We propose an online testing framework for detecting distributional changes in serially dependent data with values in a separable metric space. Based on two-sample $U$-statistics, the framework encompasses sequential analogs of energy distance and maximum mean discrepancy (MMD) procedures while accommodating temporal d...

Factor-Adjusted Location Tests for High-Dimensional Time Series

We study high-dimensional one-sample mean testing for time series with strong common serial dependence driven by latent dynamic factors. After estimating the dynamic factor loading space from lagged autocovariance, we project the data onto its orthogonal complement and construct three factor-adjusted tests: a max test...

SCAN: Sequentially Detecting Change-points via Adaptive Nonparametric Inference

SCAN is introduced, an offline method for detecting multiple distributional change-points in long, serially dependent univariate time series and achieves higher covering and F1-scores than competing methods across mean and joint mean-variance shifts, particularly under serial dependence.

Online Change-Point Monitoring for Object-valued Time Series

We develop closed- and open-end procedures for monitoring changes in the marginal distribution of object-valued time series. The method combines two distance-based Hilbert-space embeddings, a monitoring-time-dependent projection, and self-normalization. It is computable entirely from pairwise distances, does not requir...

Change-Point Detection for Heterogeneous High-Dimensional Functional Time Series

A novel Energy--PE statistic, which combines subject-wise squared CUSUM energy aggregation with a generalized power-enhancement component, is proposed, which controls size, improves power under sparse and sign-heterogeneous alternatives, and yields interpretable post-test summaries.
