FDS Colloquium: David Matteson (Cornell), “Drift vs Shift: Decoupling Trends and Changepoint Analysis”
Webcast Link (via Zoom – starts at 12:00): https://yale.zoom.us/s/7859884026 Abstract: We introduce a new approach for decoupling trends (drift) and changepoints (shifts) in time series. Our locally adaptive model-based approach for robustly decoupling combines Bayesian trend filtering and machine learning based regularization. An over-parameterized Bayesian dynamic linear model (DLM) is first applied to characterize drift.…
