Abstract

We propose a new non-homogeneous dynamic Bayesian network with partially segment-wise sequentially coupled network parameters. The idea is to infer the segmentation of a time series of network data using multiple changepoint processes, and to model the data in each segment by linear regression models. The conventional uncoupled models infer the network interaction parameters for each segment separately, without any systematic information-sharing among segments. More recently, it was proposed to couple the network interaction parameters sequentially among segments. The idea is to enforce the parameters of any segment to stay similar to those of the previous segment. This coupling mechanism can be disadvantageous, as it enforces coupling and does not feature any options to uncouple. We propose a new consensus model that infers for each individual segment whether it should be coupled to (or better should stay uncoupled from) the preceding one.
