Abstract:
|
We introduce and study a formulation of the problem of estimating change--point models under mis- specification, where the level of mis-specification is allowed to change with the sample size at various different rates. We seek to study what limit distributions ensue under what rates and develop an adaptive inference scheme that adjusts automatically to the inherent level of mis-specification in the model. Three non-standard limits arise: at rates slower than $n$, one obtains Chernoff's distribution, at faster rates the minimizer of a standard two-sided compound Poisson process, and at rate $n$, a new limit distribution resembling a compound Poisson process that depends on intrinsic parameters driving the underlying sequence of models.
