Report summary: 

In multiple change-point analysis, one of the main difficulties is to determine the number of change-points. In this talk, I will introduce a data-driven approach based on an order-preserved sample-splitting strategy. Under a unified framework, a cross-validation estimation scheme is developed to achieve consistent selection. Furthermore, we construct a simple yet effective selection procedure which can quantify “uncertainty”, say controlling certain error rate. The proposed methods are applicable to most kinds of popular change -point algorithms.
