Abstract
- A new scalable segmentation algorithm is proposed in this paper for the forensic determination of level shifts in geophysical time series. While a number of segmentation algorithms exist, they are generally not ‘big data friendly’ due either to quadratic scaling of computation time in the length of the series N or subjective penalty parameters. The proposed algorithm is called SumSeg as it collects a table of potential break points via iterative ternary splits on the extreme values of the scaled partial sums of the data. It then filters the break points on their statistical significance and peak shape. Our algorithm is linear in N and logarithmic in the number of breaks B , while returning a flexible nested segmentation model that can be objectively evaluated using the area under the receiver operator curve (AUC). We demonstrate the comparative performance of SumSeg against three other algorithms. SumSeg is available as an R package from the development site at http://github.com/davids99us/anomaly.
