Abstract

We study a nonparametric sequential detection procedure, which aims at detecting the first time point where a drift term appears in a stationary process, from a Bayesian perspective. The approach is based on a nonparametric model for the drift, a nonparametric kernel smoother which is used to define the stopping rule, and a performance measure which determines for each smoothing kernel and each given drift the asymptotic accuracy of the method. We look at this approach by parameterizing the drift and putting a prior distribution on the parameter vector. We are able to identify the optimal prior distribution which minimizes the expected performance measure. Consequently, we can judge whether a certain prior distribution yields good or even optimal asymptotic detection. We consider several important special cases where the optimal prior can be calculated explicitly.
