Tidy methods for changepoint analysis

The tidychangepoint package allows you to use any number of algorithms for detecting changepoint sets in univariate time series with a common, tidyverse-compliant interface. Currently, algorithms from changepoint, wbs, and several genetic algorithms made accessible via GA are supported. It also provides model-fitting procedures for commonly-used parametric models, tools for computing various penalty functions, and graphical diagnostic displays.

Changepoint sets are computed using the segment() function, which takes a numeric vector that is coercible into a ts object, and a string indicating the algorithm you wish you use. segment() always returns a tidycpt object.

x <- segment(CET, method = "pelt", minseglen = 3)
class(x)
## [1] "tidycpt"

Various methods are available for tidycpt objects. For example, as.ts() returns the original data as ts object, and changepoints() returns the set of changepoint indices.

## [1] 237 330

If the original time series has time labels, we can also retrieve that information.

changepoints(x, use_labels = TRUE)
## [1] "1895-01-01" "1988-01-01"

The fitness() function returns the both the value and the name of the objective function that the algorithm used to find the optimal changepoint set.
