In statistical analysis, change detection tries to identify changes in the probability distribution of a stochastic process[1]. More generally it also includes the detection of anomalous behavior.

[edit] Online change detection

Using the sequential analysis ("online") approach, any change test must make a trade-off between these common metrics:

[edit] Bayes change detection

In a Bayes change-detection problem, a prior distribution is available for the change time.

[edit] Minimax change detection

In minimax change detection, the objective is to minimize the expected detection delay for some worst-case change-time distribution, subject to a cost or constraint on false alarms.

A key technique for minimax change detection is the CUSUM procedure.

[edit] Offline change detection

Offline algorithms may employ clustering based on maximum likelihood estimation.

[edit] Applications of change detection

Change detection tests are often used in manufacturing (quality control), intrusion detection, spam filtering, and medical diagnostics.
