Notes: The Lavielle and Moulines (2000) test is described in section 1.2. The Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC) and its
modification by Liu et al. (1997) denoted as LWZ are used. The simulations focus on DGP1, DGP2,
T = 1000 for 500 trials. For
comparison purposes the alternative hypotheses of change points are similar to the K&L simulations (Table 1) and extended to larger
breaks. Reported is the frequency distributionn of the breaks detected. The highlighted numbers refer to the true number of
change-points in the simulated process.
