Abstract

This paper considers the prominent problem of change-point detection in regression. The study suggests a novel testing procedure featuring a fully data-driven calibration scheme. The method is essentially a black box, requiring no tuning from the practitioner. The approach is investigated from both theoretical and practical points of view. The theoretical study demonstrates proper control of first-type error rate under H0 and power approaching 1 under H1. The experiments conducted on synthetic data fully support the theoretical claims. In conclusion, the method is applied to financial data, where it detects sensible change-points. Techniques for change-point localization are also suggested and investigated
