Abstract:

In this paper we discuss a likelihood-ratio test of a change point in densities of a general class. We show that the log-likelihood ratio process converges weakly to a nonstationary Gaussian process and obtain the critical values of the asymptotic test from the supremum of the limiting process. We also discuss the power of the test via computer simulation.
