Abstract

We consider the case where data sequences may be generated by either one of a number of non-parametrically defined processes and where the data generating process may change at any point in time. The objective is to effectively track the latter changes, where each acting process is essentially represented by a whole class of parametrically defined processes. We present, analyze and evaluate robust sequential algorithms which attain the objective for a variety of scenarios. Our robust algorithms consist of appropriate modifications of previously presented parametric sequential algorithms, to mainly resist the occurrence of occasional data outliers in terms of dramatic performance deterioration.
