Abstract:

We observe a Poisson process in several categories where the arrival rates in each category change at some unknown integer. For some of these categories the arrival rates increase, whereas in other categories the arrival rates decrease. We assume that both the arrival rates for each category as well as the change-point are unknown. We develop procedures for detecting when a change has occurred in at least one of these categories. We provide some numerical results to illistrate the effectiveness of the detection procedure.
