报告摘要：

In this talk, I will present some recent work on change point estimation and inference for the of a change point in the mean of independent high-dimensional data. Our change point estimator maximizes a new U-statistic based objective function, and its convergence rate and asymptotic distribution after suitable centering and normalization are obtained under mild assumptions. Our estimator turns out to have better efficiency as compared to the least squares based counterpart in the literature. Based on the asymptotic theory, we construct a confidence interval by plugging in consistent estimates of several quantities in the normalization. We also provide a bootstrap-based confidence interval and state its asymptotic validity under suitable conditions. Through simulation studies, we demonstrate favorable finite sample performance of the new change point estimator as compared to its least squares based counterpart, and our bootstrap-based confidence intervals, as compared to several existing competitors.
