Quickest Change Detection with Non-Stationary Post-Change Observations

no code implementations4 Oct 2021 Yuchen Liang, Alexander G. Tartakovsky, Venugopal V. Veeravalli

For the case where the post-change distributions have parametric uncertainty, a window-limited (WL) generalized likelihood-ratio (GLR) CuSum procedure is developed and is shown to achieve the universal lower bound asymptotically.

For the case where the pre-change distribution is known, a test is derived that asymptotically minimizes the worst-case detection delay over all possible post-change distributions, as the false alarm rate goes to zero.

We study the problem of quickest detection of a change in the mean of an observation sequence, under the assumption that both the pre- and post-change distributions have bounded support.

Dynamic Spectrum Access using Stochastic Multi-User Bandits

no code implementations12 Jan 2021 Meghana Bande, Akshayaa Magesh, Venugopal V. Veeravalli

In contrast to prior work, it is assumed that rewards can be non-zero even under collisions, thus allowing for the number of users to be greater than the number of channels.

We study the robust mean estimation problem in high dimensions, where $\alpha <0. 5$ fraction of the data points can be arbitrarily corrupted.
