Robust real-time monitoring of high-dimensional data streams has many important real-world applications such as industrial quality control, signal detection, biosurveillance, but unfortunately it is highly non-trivial to develop efficient schemes due to two challenges: (1) the unknown sparse number or subset of affected data streams and (2) the uncertainty of model specification for high-dimensional data. In this article, motivated by the detection of smaller persistent changes in the presence of larger transient outliers, we develop a family of efficient real-time robust detection schemes for high-dimensional data streams through monitoring feature spaces such as PCA or wavelet coefficients when the feature coefficients are from Tukey-Hubers gross error models with outliers. We propose to construct a new local detection statistic for each feature called $L_{alpha}$-CUSUM statistic that can reduce the effect of outliers by using the Box-Cox transformation of the likelihood function, and then raise a global alarm based upon the sum of the soft-thresholding transformation of these local $L_{alpha}$-CUSUM statistics so that to filter out unaffected features. In addition, we propose a new concept called false alarm breakdown point to measure the robustness of online monitoring schemes, and also characterize the breakdown point of our proposed schemes. Asymptotic analysis, extensive numerical simulations and case study of nonlinear profile monitoring are conducted to illustrate the robustness and usefulness of our proposed schemes.

In this article, motivated by biosurveillance and censoring sensor networks, we investigate the problem of distributed monitoring large-scale data streams where an undesired event may occur at some unknown time and affect only a few unknown data streams. We propose to develop scalable global monitoring schemes by parallel running local detection procedures and by combining these local procedures together to make a global decision based on SUM-shrinkage techniques. Our approach is illustrated in two concrete examples: one is the nonhomogeneous case when the pre-change and post-change local distributions are given, and the other is the homogeneous case of monitoring a large number of independent $N(0,1)$ data streams where the means of some data streams might shift to unknown positive or negative values. Numerical simulation studies demonstrate the usefulness of the proposed schemes.
In many real-world problems of real-time monitoring high-dimensional streaming data, one wants to detect an undesired event or change quickly once it occurs, but under the sampling control constraint in the sense that one might be able to only observe or use selected components data for decision-making per time step in the resource-constrained environments. In this paper, we propose to incorporate multi-armed bandit approaches into sequential change-point detection to develop an efficient bandit change-point detection algorithm. Our proposed algorithm, termed Thompson-Sampling-Shiryaev-Roberts-Pollak (TSSRP), consists of two policies per time step: the adaptive sampling policy applies the Thompson Sampling algorithm to balance between exploration for acquiring long-term knowledge and exploitation for immediate reward gain, and the statistical decision policy fuses the local Shiryaev-Roberts-Pollak statistics to determine whether to raise a global alarm by sum shrinkage techniques. Extensive numerical simulations and case studies demonstrate the statistical and computational efficiency of our proposed TSSRP algorithm.
Structural breaks have been commonly seen in applications. Specifically for detection of change points in time, research gap still remains on the setting in ultra high dimension, where the covariates may bear spurious correlations. In this paper, we propose a two-stage approach to detect change points in ultra high dimension, by firstly proposing the dynamic titled current correlation screening method to reduce the input dimension, and then detecting possible change points in the framework of group variable selection. Not only the spurious correlation between ultra-high dimensional covariates is taken into consideration in variable screening, but non-convex penalties are studied in change point detection in the ultra high dimension. Asymptotic properties are derived to guarantee the asymptotic consistency of the selection procedure, and the numerical investigations show the promising performance of the proposed approach.
For a multivariate linear model, Wilks likelihood ratio test (LRT) constitutes one of the cornerstone tools. However, the computation of its quantiles under the null or the alternative requires complex analytic approximations and more importantly, these distributional approximations are feasible only for moderate dimension of the dependent variable, say $ple 20$. On the other hand, assuming that the data dimension $p$ as well as the number $q$ of regression variables are fixed while the sample size $n$ grows, several asymptotic approximations are proposed in the literature for Wilks $bLa$ including the widely used chi-square approximation. In this paper, we consider necessary modifications to Wilks test in a high-dimensional context, specifically assuming a high data dimension $p$ and a large sample size $n$. Based on recent random matrix theory, the correction we propose to Wilks test is asymptotically Gaussian under the null and simulations demonstrate that the corrected LRT has very satisfactory size and power, surely in the large $p$ and large $n$ context, but also for moderately large data dimensions like $p=30$ or $p=50$. As a byproduct, we give a reason explaining why the standard chi-square approximation fails for high-dimensional data. We also introduce a new procedure for the classical multiple sample significance test in MANOVA which is valid for high-dimensional data.
We propose a new method for changepoint estimation in partially-observed, high-dimensional time series that undergo a simultaneous change in mean in a sparse subset of coordinates. Our first methodological contribution is to introduce a MissCUSUM transformation (a generalisation of the popular Cumulative Sum statistics), that captures the interaction between the signal strength and the level of missingness in each coordinate. In order to borrow strength across the coordinates, we propose to project these MissCUSUM statistics along a direction found as the solution to a penalised optimisation problem tailored to the specific sparsity structure. The changepoint can then be estimated as the location of the peak of the absolute value of the projected univariate series. In a model that allows different missingness probabilities in different component series, we identify that the key interaction between the missingness and the signal is a weighted sum of squares of the signal change in each coordinate, with weights given by the observation probabilities. More specifically, we prove that the angle between the estimated and oracle projection directions, as well as the changepoint location error, are controlled with high probability by the sum of two terms, both involving this weighted sum of squares, and representing the error incurred due to noise and the error due to missingness respectively. A lower bound confirms that our changepoint estimator, which we call MissInspect, is optimal up to a logarithmic factor. The striking effectiveness of the MissInspect methodology is further demonstrated both on simulated data, and on an oceanographic data set covering the Neogene period.
