TLDR
A Bayesian change point detection method is proposed, which is one of the fastest Bayesian methodologies, and it is more robust to misspecification of the error terms than the competing methods.
Abstract
We study the use of spike and slab priors for consistent estimation of the number of change points and their locations. Leveraging recent results in the variable selection literature, we show that an estimator based on spike and slab priors achieves optimal localization rate in the multiple offline change point detection problem. Based on this estimator, we propose a Bayesian change point detection method, which is one of the fastest Bayesian methodologies, and it is more robust to misspecification of the error terms than the competing methods. We demonstrate through empirical work the good performance of our approach vis-a-vis some state-of-the-art benchmarks.

Variance estimation in graphs with the fused lasso

TL;DR: The problem of variance estimation in general graph-structured problems is studied and a linear time estimator for the homoscedastic case is developed that can consistently estimate the variance in general graphs and a simple total variation regularization estimator is studied for estimating the signal of variances in the heteroscedastics case.

Controlled Discovery and Localization of Signals via Bayesian Linear Programming

TL;DR: Bayesian Linear Programming (BLiP) is proposed, a method which overcomes this intractability to jointly detect and localize signals in a way that nearly maximizes the expected resolution-adjusted power while provably controlling false positives.

Non-segmental Bayesian Detection of Multiple Change-points

TL;DR: In this article , the authors proposed an original and general NOn-SEgmental (NOSE) approach for the detection of multiple change-points by the non-negligibility of posterior estimates of the jump heights.

Variance change point detection with credible sets

TL;DR: In this article , the authors introduce a novel Bayesian approach to detect changes in the variance of a Gaussian sequence model focusing on quantifying the uncertainty in the change point locations and providing a scalable algorithm for inference.

The Dantzig selector: Statistical estimation when p is much larger than n

TL;DR: In many important statistical applications, the number of variables or parameters p is much larger than the total number of observations n as discussed by the authors, and it is possible to estimate β reliably based on the noisy data y.
