A general criterion to determine the number of change-points

Author

  • Ciuperca, Gabriela

Abstract

A general criterion is proposed to determine the number K of the change-points in a parametric nonlinear multi-response model. Schwarz criterion is a particular case. The change-points depend on regressor values and not on instant of measure. We prove that the proposed estimator for K is consistent. Simulation results, using Monte Carlo technique, for nonlinear models which have numerous applications, support the relevance of the theory.
