Why choose this project topic?
This topic turns identifying sustained shifts without confusing seasonal peaks with structural change into a measurable analytical question. Comparing detection delay, false changes and shift-size sensitivity gives a student material for visual results, methodological criticism and a discussion of how the data's limitations change the conclusion.
How does change-point detection in service demand affect identifying sustained shifts without confusing seasonal peaks with structural change, as measured by detection delay, false changes and shift-size sensitivity?
Choose an accessible licensed or synthetic dataset, agree the unit of analysis and narrow identifying sustained shifts without confusing seasonal peaks with structural change to a reproducible comparison your supervisor can review.
Proposed project objectives
- 01Define the data, assumptions and comparison design for identifying sustained shifts without confusing seasonal peaks with structural change.
- 02Use synthetic shifts and licensed aggregate service series, compare detectors with seasonal baselines and inspect false changes around missing periods.
- 03Compare detection delay, false changes and shift-size sensitivity and report uncertainty and sensitivity to analytical choices.
A suggested research approach
Use synthetic shifts and licensed aggregate service series, compare detectors with seasonal baselines and inspect false changes around missing periods. Confirm the data licence and variable definitions before analysis. Preserve an untouched evaluation set where relevant, document exclusions and missingness, and report detection delay, false changes and shift-size sensitivity with uncertainty or sensitivity checks rather than selecting only favourable results.
What you will need
- Licensed or synthetic demand series
- Change-point library
- Known-shift simulation
