Sequential analysis: hypothesis testing and changepoint detection

Sequential Analysis: Hypothesis Testing and Change point Detection systematically develops the theory of sequential hypothesis testing and quickest change point detection. It also describes important applications in which theoretical results can be used efficiently.
The book reviews recent accomplishments in hypothesis testing and change point detection both in decision-theoretic (Bayesian) and non-decision-theoretic (non-Bayesian) contexts. The authors not only emphasize traditional binary hypotheses but also substantially more difficult multiple decision problems. They address scenarios with simple hypotheses and more realistic cases of two and finitely many composite hypotheses. The book primarily focuses on practical discrete-time models, with certain continuous-time models also examined when general results can be obtained very similarly in both cases. It treats both conventional i.i.d. and general non-i.i.d. stochastic models in detail, including Markov, hidden Markov, state-space, regression, and auto regression models. Rigorous proofs are given for the most important results.
Written by leading authorities in the field, this book covers the theoretical developments and applications of sequential hypothesis testing and sequential quickest change point detection in a wide range of engineering and environmental domains. It explains how the theoretical aspects influence the hypothesis testing and change point detection problems as well as the design of algorithms.(https://www.crcpress.com/product/isbn/9781439838204)
