This release marks the end of Google Summer of Code 2021. During this summer, the whole package was coded from scratch by me, @diego-urgell . At this point, BinSeg is fully usable, and any user can install it via GitHub (see the README for more details) and perform changepoint analysis with it. There are many more features that will be added in the future, tough. The package will be soon released in CRAN. Stay tuned! 🚀
Currently the Binary Segmentation is implemented, along with the following types of change:
- Normal distribution with change in mean.
- Normal distribution with change in variance.
- Normal distribution with change in mean and variance.
- Poisson distribution with change in rate.
- Exponential distribution with change in rate.
- Negative Binomial distribution with change in success probability (has to be validated with an external package yet).
I want to thank and acknowledge my GSOC mentors Rebecca Killick (@rkillick) and Toby Hocking (@tdhock) for the guidance and the valuable suggestions they provided during the summer.
I am also thankful to the GSOC administrators, who made this experience and this package possible.
