ecp (version 1.5.4)

e.split: ENERGY SPLIT

Description

Finds the most likely location for a change point across all current clusters.

Usage

e.split(changes, D, min.size, for.sim=FALSE)

Arguments

changes

A vector containing the current set of change points.

D

An n by n distance matrix.

min.size

Minimum number of observations between change points.

for.sim

Boolean value indicating if the function is to be run on permuted data for significance testing.

Value

• A list with the following components is returned.
• first
  The index of the first element of the cluster to be divided.
• second
  The index of the last element of the cluster to be divided.
• third
  The new set of change points.
• fourth
  The distance between the clusters created by the newly proposed change point.

Details

This method is called by the e.divisive method, and should not be called by the user.
