Bootstrap Confidence Intervals for Multiple Change Points Based on Two-Stage Procedures
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This paper investigates the construction of confidence intervals for multiple change points in linear regression models. First, we detect multiple change points by performing variable selection on blocks of the input sequence; second, we re-estimate their exact locations in a refinement step. Specifically, we exploit an orthogonal greedy algorithm to recover the number of change points consistently in the cutting stage, and employ the sup-Wald-type test statistic to determine the locations of multiple change points in the refinement stage. Based on a two-stage procedure, we propose bootstrapping the estimated centered error sequence, which can accommodate unknown magnitudes of changes and ensure the asymptotic validity of the proposed bootstrapping method. This enables us to construct confidence intervals using the empirical distribution of the resampled data. The proposed method is illustrated with simulations and real data examples.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
