The limitation is that most works assume that each data point observed at each time step is a single multi-dimensional vector. However, there are many situations where this does not hold. Therefore, a setting where each observation is a collection of random variables, which we call a bag of data, is considered. After estimating the underlying distribution behind each bag of data and embedding those distributions in a metric space, the change-point score is derived by evaluating how the sequence of distributions is fluctuating in the metric space using a distance-based information estimator. Also, a procedure that adaptively determines when to raise alerts is incorporated by calculating the confidence interval of the change-point score at each time step. This avoids raising false alarms in highly noisy situations and enables detecting changes of various magnitudes. A number of experimental studies and numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the generality and the effectiveness of our approach with both synthetic and real datasets.}, pages = {2632--2644}, title = {Change-Point Detection in a Sequence of Bags-of-Data}, volume = {27}, year = {2015} }
