- Y
An input multivariate time series in matrix format, with variables organized in columns and time points in rows. All entries in Y must be positive.
- mindist
A positive integer with default value equal to 35. It is used to define the minimum distance acceptable between detected change points.
- nruns
A positive integer with default value equal to 50. It is used to define the number of runs in the NMF function.
- nreps
A positive integer with default value equal to 100. It is used to define the number of permutations for the statistical inference procedure.
- alpha
A positive real number with default value set to NULL. When alpha = NULL, then the p-value calculated for inference on the change
points is returned. If alpha = a positive integer value, say 0.05, then it is used to define the significance level for inference on the change points.
- rank
A positive integer, which defines the rank used in the optimization procedure to detect the change points. If rank = NULL, which is also the
default value, then the optimal rank is computed. If rank = a positive integer value, say 4, then a predetermined rank is used.
- algtype
A character string, which defines the algorithm to be used in the NMF function. By default it is set to "brunet". See the "Algorithms" section of
nmf
for more information on the available algorithms.
- testtype
A character string, which defines the type of statistical test to use during the inference procedure. By default it is set to "t-test". The
other options are "ks" and "wilcox" which correspond to the Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Wilcoxon tests, respectively.
- ncore
A positive integer with default value equal to 1. It is used to define the number of cores to use in the procedure
