Change Point Analysis
Description
Change point analysis is a crucial statistical technique for detecting structural breaks within datasets, applicable in diverse fields such as finance and weather forecasting. The authors of this book aim to consolidate recent advancements and broaden the scope beyond traditional time series applications to include biostatistics, longitudinal data analysis, high-dimensional data, and network analysis.
The book introduces foundational concepts with practical data examples from literature, alongside discussions of related machine learning topics. Subsequent chapters focus on mathematical tools for single- and multiple-change point detection along with statistical inference issues, which provide rigorous proofs to enhance understanding but assume readers have foundational knowledge in graduate-level probability and statistics. The book also expands the discussion into threshold regression frameworks linked to subgroup identification in modern statistical learning and apply change point analysis to functional data and dynamic networks—areas not comprehensively covered elsewhere.
Key Features:
- Comprehensive Coverage of Diverse Applications: This book expands the scope of change point analysis to include biostatistics, longitudinal data, high-dimensional data, and network analysis. This broad applicability makes it a valuable resource for researchers and students across various disciplines
- Integration of Theory and Practice: The book balances rigorous mathematical theory with practical applications by providing extensive computational examples using R. Each chapter features real-world data illustrations and discussions of relevant machine learning topics, ensuring that readers can see the relevance of theoretical concepts in applied settings
- Accessibility for Students: The content is designed with graduate-level students in mind, providing clear explanations and structured guidance through complex mathematical tools. Rigorous proofs are included to facilitate understanding without overwhelming readers with overly advanced theories early on
The book incorporates computational results using R, showcasing various packages tailored for specific methods or problem domains while providing references for further exploration. By offering a selection of widely adopted methodologies relevant in scientific research as well as business contexts, this text aims to equip junior researchers with essential tools needed for their work in change point analysis.
Shipping & Processing
This item is in stock with our supplier and usually ships within 2–5 business days.
Processing times
- In stock: Items marked “In Stock” are on our shelves. We pick, pack and ship them within 1–2 business days.

- Supplier delays: Occasionally a supplier is delayed, or their stock information turns out to be inaccurate. We’ll keep your order open for up to 60 days. If an item hasn’t shipped or isn’t on its way to us by then, we’ll cancel that item and refund it.
How accurate is availability?
Availability is based on the stock levels our suppliers tell us they hold, and we update it regularly. If a supplier issue affects your order, we’ll let you know with an updated estimate.
Delivery
- As soon as your order ships you’ll get an email with tracking.
- Australia Post usually delivers within 2–10 business days of shipping (around 4 in metro areas and around 6 in regional areas).
- If your order has more than one item, we hold the in-stock items until everything is ready, so we can ship your whole order together in one parcel.
- Shipping cost: Free on orders over $100 within Australia, otherwise $9.95 flat rate per order however many items you buy. Free shipping applies to Australian addresses only; delivery to New Zealand is $14.95 per order.

Cancellations
Need to change or cancel an order? Contact us as soon as possible at contact@bookloop.com.au or through our contact page.
- Within 30 minutes: You can change or cancel your order for a full refund within 30 minutes of placing it.
- After 30 minutes: Your order is already being processed, so it can no longer be changed or cancelled. If we can accept a late cancellation, we may offer store credit instead of a refund.
- Items in transit: Once an item is on its way, either from our supplier to us or from us to you, it can’t be cancelled. If you no longer want it once it arrives, you can return it as a change of mind, with return postage at your cost. See Returns.
- Separate orders can’t be combined once they’ve been placed, and adding or swapping items can change the delivery estimate.
- Supplier delays: Occasionally a supplier is delayed, or their stock information turns out to be inaccurate. We’ll keep your order open for up to 60 days. If an item hasn’t shipped or isn’t on its way to us by then, we’ll cancel that item and refund it.
Faulty or damaged items are always covered. See Returns.
