RT Journal Article T1 ϕ-Divergence Based Procedure for Parametric Change-Point Problems A1 Batsidis, Apostolos A1 Martin, N. A1 Pardo Llorente, Leandro A1 Zografos, K. AB This paper studies the change-point problem for a general parametric, univariate or multivariate family of distributions. An information theoretic procedure is developed which is based on general divergence measures for testing the hypothesis of the existence of a change. For comparing the exact sizes of the new test-statistic using the criterion proposed in Dale (J R Stat Soc B 48–59, 1986), a simulation study is performed for the special case of exponentially distributed random variables. A complete study of powers of the test-statistics and their corresponding relative local efficiencies, is also considered.
