Abstract

The path algorithm of the fused lasso signal approximator is known to fail in finding change points when monotonically increasing or decreasing blocks exist in the mean vector. In this paper, we first understand why the standard path algorithm by Hoefling (2010) fails in the primal optimization problem. We then propose a modified path algorithm for the consistent recovery of the change points and study its properties theoretically and numerically.
