Maybe this can help: research.ibm.com/PM/sigt98.ps and www-bcf.usc.edu/~liu32/cs599/Time_series.pdf – Shai Covo May 27 '11 at 1:38
@Shai: I'm not familiar with this topic, so I'd like to ask your advice: do you think it would be appropriate to migrate this question to stats.SE? – Zev Chonoles Jun 26 '11 at 5:00
@Zev: I am also not familiar with this topic, but it is evident from the content of the linked document entitled "An Introduction to Change-Point Detection" (the .ps file) that, indeed, it would be appropriate to migrate this question to stats.SE. – Shai Covo Jun 26 '11 at 7:56
