Changepoints are abrupt variations in the generative parameters of a data sequence. Online detection of changepoints is useful in modelling and prediction of time series in application areas such as finance, biometrics, and robotics. While frequentist methods have yielded online filtering and prediction techniques, most Bayesian papers have focused on the retrospective segmentation problem. Here we examine the case where the model parameters before and after the changepoint are independent and we derive an online algorithm for exact inference of the most recent changepoint. We compute the probability distribution of the length of the current ``run,'' or time since the last changepoint, using a simple message-passing algorithm. Our implementation is highly modular so that the algorithm may be applied to a variety of types of data. We illustrate this modularity by demonstrating the algorithm on three different real-world data sets.

  1. The Statistical Cost of Adaptation in Multi-Source Transfer Learning

    math.ST 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 8.0

    Multi-source transfer learning incurs an intrinsic adaptation cost that can exceed one, with phase transitions separating regimes where bias-agnostic estimators match oracle performance from those where they cannot.

    stat.ME 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    CHASM detects changes in temporal and cross-variable dependence in multivariate time series by monitoring the truncated eigenvalue sequence of a recursively estimated DMD operator, using optimal assignment and augment...

  4. Early Detection of Latent Microstructure Regimes in Limit Order Books

    cs.LG 2026-04 conditional novelty 7.0

    cs.LG 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    BRPC is an online Bayesian calibration framework that decouples parameter tracking from discrepancy modeling for gradual nonstationarity and adds restart mechanisms to handle abrupt regime shifts.

  6. Sequential Bayesian Monitoring for Recoverable and Drifting Processes

    stat.CO 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Bayesian procedures are derived to compute the posterior probability that a recoverable process is currently in control or that a drifting latent parameter lies in an acceptable region.

  7. Pi-Change: A Prior-Informed Multiple Change Point Detection Algorithm

    stat.ME 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Pi-Change extends the PELT framework for multiple change point detection by incorporating prior information on locations through a time-varying penalty that preserves dynamic programming efficiency.

  8. Cost-sensitive retraining via posterior learning debt
