Describe base arguments for segment function
base_segment(data, likelihood, max_segments, allow_parallel)
matrix for which to find the change points
a function receives the segment matrix as argument and returns a likelihood estimation. This function is used to calculate the change points that maximize the total likelihood. Depending on the algorithm being used, this function is likely to be executed many times, in which case it's also likely to be the bottleneck of the function execution, so it's advised that this function should have fast implementation.
an integer that defines the maximum amount of segments to split the data into.
allows parallel execution to take place using the
registered cluster. Assumes a cluster is registered with the foreach
package. Defaults to TRUE.
a list of type segmentr
, which has the two attributes:
changepoints
: a vector with the first index of each identified change point
segments
: a list of vectors, in which each vector corresponds to the indices
that identifies a segment.
