Localising change points in piecewise polynomials of general degrees
2020
In this paper we are concerned with a sequence of univariate random variables with piecewise polynomial means and independent sub-Gaussian noise. The underlying polynomials are allowed to be of arbitrary but fixed degrees. We propose a two-step estimation procedure based on the $\ell_0$-penalisation and provide upper bounds on the localisation error. We complement these results by deriving information-theoretic lower bounds, which show that our two-step estimators are nearly minimax rate-optimal. We also show that our estimator enjoys near optimally adaptive performance by attaining individual localisation errors depending on the level of smoothness at individual change points of the underlying signal.
