S403 - Change point detection and its applications

Tuesday October 6, 2026 12:00 - 13:00 UTC

Change point detection has long been an active and important area of statistical research because structural changes frequently arise in data collected over time or across different conditions. Detecting these changes helps researchers better understand complex processes and make more informed decisions in fields such as public health, finance, genomics, environmental science, manufacturing, and engineering, where the ability to detect shifts in trends, variability, or dependence structures can provide valuable insights into complex systems. As the volume and complexity of modern data continue to grow, the development of robust and efficient change point techniques remains a significant research challenge and opportunity. This invited session brings together researchers from three countries to present new methods and real-world applications of change point analysis. The session will highlight recent advances in the field, encourage international collaboration, and showcase the broad impact of change point research across diverse disciplines.
