摘要

We propose a test for detecting distributional changes in a sequence of multivariate observations based on optimal measure transport. The test is formulated using the empirical characteristic functions of the transported observations and is therefore distribution-free. We provide a method for constructing an exact test and we derive the asymptotic distribution of the test statistic. The performance of the proposed procedure is illustrated through a Monte Carlo simulation study.
