Abstract

In the paper we consider a changed segment model for sample dis- tributions. We generalize Dümbgen’s [6] change point estimator and obtain optimal rates of convergence of estimators of the begining and the length of the changed segment.

Keywords :changed segment, changed segment location, empirical pro- cess, epidemic model, probability metrics, reproducing kernel.

Introduction

A general changed segment (called also epidemic) model can be described as follows. Forn= 3,4, . . ., letP n andQ n be two probability distributions on a measurable spaceEand letX n,1 , X n,2 , . . . , X n,n be a triangular array of independent random elements inE exist. Theres n ∗ andt ∗ n such that for 1≤i≤ns n ∗ ornt ∗ n < i≤n, theX i,n ’s have distributionP n , while for ns ∗ n < i≤nt ∗ n , they have distributionQ n .We refer to e.g., Avery and Handerson [1], Commenges et al. [3], Račkauskas and Suquet [12], [13], ∗ This work was supported by a cooperation agreement Lille-Vilnius EGIDE Gillibert.
